Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Sally Keeble (Labour), on Tuesday, 21 March 2006, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 87 members in total.


SAFE MOTHERHOOD CAMPAIGN

That this House notes that 600,000 women die needlessly in childbirth every year, almost all of them in developing countries; supports the call to action by the World Health Organisation and Commonwealth Secretariat to improve maternity services worldwide; and calls on the UK Government to press for securely funded health systems worldwide with universal coverage of critical health interventions for women and girls, an end to financial barriers in accessing healthcare and respect for women's decisions in all matters relating to their health and well-being.
