发展中国家的产妇死亡往往是妇女人权不断遭到剥夺的最终悲剧性后果。妇女不是死于无法治愈的疾病。他们正在死去，因为社会尚未作出决定，认为他们的生命值得拯救。生育是一种社会功能，而不是一种疾病。当妇女冒着生命危险献出生命时，她们有权要求自己的生命权和健康权得到保护。将妇女视为手段而非目的的社会态度导致剥夺了妇女获得基本孕产服务的权利。一个希望的信号是，安全孕产现已作为八项千年发展目标之一列入世界议程。全球产科医生社区负有帮助所有妇女更安全地做母亲的重大责任。
Maternal deaths in developing countries are often the ultimate tragic outcome of the cumulative denial of women's human rights. Women are not dying because of untreatable diseases. They are dying because societies have yet to make the decision that their lives are worth saving. Maternity is a social function and not a disease. When women are risking death to give life, they are entitled to have their own right to life and health protected. Societal attitudes of looking at women as means and not ends have resulted in the denial of women's rights to essential maternity services. A signal of hope is that safe motherhood is now on the world agenda as one of eight Millennium Development Goals. The global community of obstetricians has a major responsibility to help make motherhood safer for all women.
