<p>Every year, the UK spends approximately £1 billion on reproductive, maternal, new-born
and child health care.</p><p>The majority of maternal deaths are caused by complications
during and following pregnancy and childbirth, such as severe bleeding, infections,
complications from delivery and unsafe abortion. DFID works to reduce maternal mortality
through a range of programmes, which focus on effective family planning, training
health workers to manage obstetric emergencies and improving countries’ health systems
to ensure health workers, drugs, equipment and transport are available when women
and children need care.</p>
