Mobile health units are rolling clinicians into remote parts of Bolivia and helping to lower one of the world’s worst rates of maternal mortality. Reporting costs for this story were partially funded by International Planned Parenthood.
Bolivia has stemmed maternal and infant death rates by providing free medical care during pregnancy and childbirth. But many women prefer to labor at home rather than take free care at hospitals that comes packaged with birthing horror stories.
The leftist trend in Latin America is going hand in hand with a reversal of abortion rights. In anti-corporate Bolivia, for instance, a push last month to constitutionally broaden a ban was blocked only at the last minute.
