The theme for national celebrations of the 2011 International Women’s Day in Uganda is “Act Now: Promote Maternal Health.”
The theme of the day is intended to highlight the dire statistics on how many women die during pregnancy, at the point of delivery and shortly after birth, and how simple the solutions are with increased public awareness and real commitment on the part of government.
Uganda Radio Network commemorates International Women’s Day by bringing you a three-part series on maternal health first produced by National Perspective one year ago.
