REPRODUCTIVE AND CHILD HEALTH

Reproductive health care is the primary health need of women, yet limited resources in developing countries combined with women's economic and social position often deprive women of access to the care they need and want. Increasing access to voluntary family planning services and providing emergency obstetrical care to enable women to safely carry and deliver babies are examples of the kinds of work supported by the foundation.

A woman in early labor rests at Tonk Hospital, in rural Rajasthan, India. Her chances of a healthy delivery are improved by seeking trained medical care for labor.
