Cost of global push to prevent women dying in childbirth to increase sixfold

The Guardian "As Trump funding drought continues, UN figures show billions more will be needed to meet global target on maternal mortality. The cost of preventing women from dying in childbirth is projected to increase sixfold by 2030, requiring billions of dollars to achieve global targets, according to the UN. The estimate was released by the UN population fund (UNFPA) on Thursday, offering a snapshot of the scale of the challenge the agency has set itself to end preventable maternal deaths by 2030."
