In Yemen, the stark reality is that one woman loses her life every two hours during childbirth, largely due to preventable causes. With a maternal mortality ratio of 385 deaths per 100,000 live births (2015 UN estimates) and nearly half of public health facilities facing significant challenges in functionality, including shortages of staff, funds, and essential supplies, the situation demands urgent attention. Moreover, the neonatal mortality rate stands at 28 per 1000 live births, as per UNICEF reports.

In response to these critical issues, Yamaan has launched a targeted initiative to combat maternal and newborn mortality and morbidity. Our project focuses on providing high-quality, comprehensive, and safe motherhood services to pregnant women and neonates in underserved communities. By addressing vital barriers to accessing safe motherhood services, the project aims to reduce maternal and newborn mortality rates significantly.

Key components of our project include:

1. Providing comprehensive maternal and neonatal care services to pregnant women and newborns.
2. Enhancing the capacity of enrolled health facilities through quality assurance measures and the provision of essential supplies.
3. Targeting poor communities to ensure equitable access to vital maternal and neonatal healthcare services. 

Through these efforts, Yamaan is committed to making a tangible difference in the lives of women and newborns in Yemen, ultimately striving to create a healthier and more equitable future for all...
