With 480 deaths per 100,000 live births in 2017, Haiti, was far from achieving the Sustainable
Development Goal of having fewer than 70 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births by 2030
(UNICEF, 2022). In the Latin America and Caribbean region the average maternal mortality
rate was 74 deaths per 100,000 live births. Pregnant women die as a result of complications
such as preeclampsia, eclampsia, severe bleeding, and infections.
