At 1,047 deaths per 100,000 live births, Nigeria has the fourth highest maternal mortality rate in the world.

Many pregnant women in rural Nigeria are unable to receive emergency medical care partly due to the cost.

A Caesarean costs around 60,000 naira ($ 36;28 ) which can be beyond the reach of many.
