International Health Partnership

I agree with my hon. Friend. Will she go on to say that, sadly, one of the biggest problems with maternal health is the connection with conflict? In the Darfur region, which I know only too well, the biggest problem for women is access to much-needed health care. Health care is needed because of continuing rape and violence against women. The conflict has led to an imbalance in the population because, for all sorts of reasons, there are no men in many of the villages. That has a deleterious effect on the way in which the whole structure of the population operates and on maternal health, in particular.
