These deaths are due to a lack of access to high quality care in pregnancy and childbirth, life-saving drugs and safe surgical procedures and access to information about family planning. That's why it's so important that women receive good prenatal care and reproductive health care. CARE is a leader in family planning and reproductive health programming, serving 8 million men and women through more than 70 projects in over 30 countries. The organization recently launched a program in Agra aimed at improving women's reproductive health. The program will reach approximately 15,000 women of reproductive age, including several hundred commercial sex workers, in 20 slums over a period of three years.
CARE also seeks to increase the number of women who use local health care services.
The organization also will work with these local health care providers to improve their abilities to provide medical services. CARE is one of the world's largest international relief and development organizations. The organization also carries out development programs in food, agriculture, primary health care, education, urban development and micro-enterprise. Inc. All rights reserved worldwide.
