Healthy Women, Healthy Children PSA
Having a baby is a joyous time for women and families. But will this woman survive her pregnancy? Will this baby survive his first month? Will this child survive to the age of five?

That’s a woman a minute… a child every 4 seconds. But with today’s low-cost medicines and modern medical care even the poorest woman can give birth safely and raise healthy children.
