There's a lot of people for whom this concept isn't Real. Including, surprisingly, some women who've given birth, but always with First World medical resources, that reduces maternal mortality profoundly.
Maternal mortality is high in Tanzania: for every 100,000 births, 950 women die. In the United States, the figure is 11, and it is even lower in other developed countries. But Tanzania’s record is neither the best nor the worst in Africa. Many other countries have similar statistics; quite a few do better and a handful do markedly worse.
