Three critical delays cause several millions of mothers and infants to die in Africa each year—delays in seeking medical care, delays due to inadequate transportation, and delays because health centers are underequipped. Tanzania, in particular, has maternal mortality rates that are extremely high. According to recent estimates, women in Tanzania have a lifetime risk of dying during pregnancy and childbirth of 1 in 38, which is more than 60 times the figures in the USA. The maternal mortality ratio in the country is 460 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births.
