Remote Tibetan mothers have a 1 in 15 chance of dying in pregnancy or delivery -- 3 x riskier than a US soldier in Afghanistan. Most births are unattended. 1 in 5 children die before the age of 2. The reason is lack of access to quality care. Surmang Clinic has reduced infant and maternal mortality to zero. This project will support and expand that work, by increasing access to quality care and end or significantly decrease infant and maternal mortality through attended births. project reportread updates from the field
