<p>The UK is deeply concerned that women are being detained because they cannot pay
medical fees, including after childbirth complications. We are currently supporting
the World Health Organisation to review the extent of the problem and assess what
can be done.</p><p>Through our work at country level, we also help promote financing
reforms to benefit the poor and reduce out-of-pocket expenditure on health. We also
advocate for respectful behaviour in health facilities. We are committed to deepen
our engagement in this area to ensure respectful and safe maternity care that does
not impoverish mothers.</p>
