Working to Reduce Maternal Mortality in Pakistan (Part 2) 06:10

Working to Reduce Maternal Mortality in Pakistan highlights the complexities of empowering the citizen-consumer by implementing reform in the public obstetric and gynaecological health care sector of Pakistan. Every year approximately 30,000 women die from pregnancy related complications and a further 375,000 suffer severe post-natal injuries. These figures place Pakistans maternal death and morbidity rates as the highest in South Asia.

The films narrative is largely conveyed and enacted by Dr Shershah Syed, Secretary General of the Pakistan Medical Association (2004-2006). Highly critical of the government, his determination to reduce pregnancy related deaths in Pakistan is earning him as many enemies as friends.
