One of those deaths occurred in the city of Jayawijaya, located deep in the highlands of Papua, Indonesia, home to the Dani tribe.<\/p>\n<p>Ekari was a young woman, a mother of two precious little girls, anxiously expecting her third and last child. She was hoping for a boy. One early and hot morning, she woke up to the pains of delivery. While her husband ran outside and called the local midwife, Ekari got her two little girls ready for school. She dreamed of a better life for her girls through education.<\/p>\n<p>When the midwife came, an hour later, her pains had increase in magnitude and frequency, promising a rapid and normal delivery. As the sun came down 12 hours later, she found herself exhausted and without her baby. The midwife told Ekari&rsquo;s husband to take her to the hospital, as something was wrong with the delivery process. Immediately, he arranged and paid for transport, and they traveled to the hospital.<\/p>\n<p>But like many health institutions in poor regions, the hospital was understaffed and lacked drugs, an adequate blood bank, and the equipment needed to provide care for obstetric emergencies. An unjust 99% of maternal deaths occur in poor countries. Because Ekari could not access adequate care, her uterus ruptured and she bled to death. Her baby did not survive.<\/p>\n<p>But what happens when a mother dies? Grief, sorrow, loss, anger, fear? In our western culture, probably all of the above. But in poor countries, there are also social and economic consequences, both for her immediate family and for the community as a whole. Recent research conducted by several academic institutions &mdash; such as Harvard&rsquo;s FXB Center for Health and Human Rights &mdash; have found that a mother&rsquo;s loss can devastate the livelihoods, quality of life, and the survival chances of those she leaves behind.<\/p>\n<p>When a mother dies, negative financial, educational, and survival consequences are interlinked and intergenerational. And in a world with rapacious wealth inequity, we can expect many more stories like Ekari&rsquo;s.<\/p>\n<p>The truth is that Ekari and her baby died because they were poor.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18283\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18283\" style=\"width: 622px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18283 lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/email\/met3\/spacer.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"622\" height=\"415\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IWD-When-a-mother-dies-in-text.jpg 622w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IWD-When-a-mother-dies-in-text-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IWD-When-a-mother-dies-in-text-360x240.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 622px) 100vw, 622px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IWD-When-a-mother-dies-in-text.jpg\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-18283\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Alfonso Rosales leads a newborn asphyxia management training for health facility staff and community-based midwives in Papua, Indonesia.
