“Maternal health investments are delivering real results. CARE and our partners, working with some of the world’s poorest communities, have seen women’s lives saved when the right interventions are put in place. These same women have been empowered to build healthy, productive lives for themselves and their children and become leaders in their communities. Yet, much more remains to be done.” - Peru coverage, annual report for CARE international
