AFGHANISTAN Maternal Mortality: Qamar's Story
Azibullah, 30, cries next to the dead body of his wife, Qamar, center, a 26-year-old tuberculosis patient who died of postpartum complications two weeks after the delivery, and her baby, in their house in the village in Shohada district in Badakshan province, Afghanistan, Monday, May 21, 2007. Qamar, who already lost her first child from the natural delivery about two years ago, delivered the second baby by the cesarean section this time. However, her health became deteriorated with an unknown cause, and she suffered from postpartum complications such as meningitis, hypothermia, and toxoplasmosis. She later died in the hospital on May 20 leaving the baby and the husband behind.
Afghanistan has the second highest maternal mortality rate in the world only after Sierra Leone. An astonishing number of 25,000 women die from obstetric causes per year, or 1 woman dies every 27 minutes. A UN report released in 2000 indicates that the national MMR in Afghanistan was 1,900 per 100,000 live births, whereas it was 17 in the United States. Sierra Leone's maternal death rate was 2,000. Ragh district in Badakshan province showed the highest mortality risk ever recorded in human history, with 64% - more than half of women - of reproductive age died during 1999 and 2002. The causes of deaths were analyzed mainly in two parts: direct and indirect. Direct causes include hemorrhage, obstructed labour, cardiomyopathy, sepsis, obstetric embolism, and pregnancy-induced hypertension; and the indirect causes were tuberculosis, malaria, and obstetric tetanus. According to the survey of Afghan women who died postpartum by Dr. Linda Bartlett in 2002, 94% died within 42 days. 56% of these women died in the first 24 hours.
US President George W. Bush and Afghani President Hamid Karzai began talks on August 6, 2007 to discuss the dangerous situation in Afghanistan. Despite some recent success on the ground fighting the Taliban, NATO and Coalition troop (FOTO: DUKAS/WORLDPICTURENEWS)
