The cause of Chad's low maternal morality rate is derived from its poor health system, there is less then one qualified health worker per 1,000. Also the government uses only three percent of their budget on health, the reason why the government only gives three percent to health is because Chad is one of the poorest countries in the world, people are struggling to eat especially in the rural areas which is not good for mothers or pregnant woman.

Many woman and girls in Chad are not attended to during their pregnancy, with about 23.7% of woman being attended to by skilled doctors. The reason their is such a limitation on accessing health care for woman and girls is because of poverty. Thier are so many people who live below the poverty line, approximately 80% of Chadians do. Due to this high number of people below the poverty line their is no access or a limited access to health care for woman. This high rate of poverty in Chad causes a chain reaction affecting contraceptive prelevance as well as education. Chad has a low percentage of literacy, about 31.8%, and girls in Chad have a very low enrollment in secondary school. There are large gender inequality for example per school compilation rates for girls are estimated at 25%. This lack of education is very serious which has large consequences such as high maternal mortality rate. But education is not the only serious aspect to this predicament but as well as early marriages, with marriages being arranged at early as 11 or 12. This problem is a very dangerous and serious threat to woman and girls in Chad, as well as to the whole

The Arabs of northern Chad--who are nomadic or live in the capital of N'Djamena--eat staples of dairy and meat, while groups in the agricultural south have a plant-based diet. However, there are certain national dishes that all Chadians share.

1. Obviously, like any other thing in the world, the contraceptive methods are mostly affected by the financial ability of people. The social determinants of health discussed in chapter one also points out to the importance of financial ability. For example, socioeconomic status, educational attainment, literacy, employment status, working conditions, housing, transportation, social support networks, and access to health care services that are all listed as significant social factors of health are directly affected by the income of people. Therefore, it is not surprising to see that access to contraception in developed countries such as northern America and European countries involves more variety and more choices compared to less developed

However highly debated some tactics for resolution may be it is hard to miss the shear urgency with which the issues of women's rights and health call us.

In 2013, 289 000 women died during pregnancy and childbirth and it was estimated that everyday 800 women all over the world died from childbirth or childbirth-related problems (World Health Organization, 2014). Often, maternal mortality is found to occur more often in developing countries than developed countries. Maternal mortality refers women who died from the situation like during pregnancy, termination of pregnancy within 42 days, regardless of duration and place of pregnancy, from aggravation caused by the pregnancy or pregnancy management (Nwagha et al, 2010). Maternal mortality may be resulted from direct or indirect cause. Direct causes are from obstetric complications of pregnancy, labour, and puerperium, and interventions whereas indirect causes are from the worsening of current conditions by pregnancy or delivery (Givewell, 2009). This paper aims to examine the causes for maternal mortality in both developed and developing countries and will end with a proposal for government to ensure women are given reproductive health rights.
Burkina Faso, located in West Africa, is a country that is known to be one of the less developed countries in Africa. Living in the modernized world today, we see a lot of improvements made all around the world to level the statuses of individuals in the society. However, Burkina Faso seems to be unsuccessful in doing so in comparison to its neighboring countries. Today, Burkina Faso is still facing a lot of common problems such as poverty, smuggling and an increasing number of HIV/AIDS cases. Yet we can see most clearly the country being undeveloped when regarding the situation of women in Burkina Faso. As a result, despite many efforts and even as Burkina Faso has been developed and modernized over the years, there are still many limitations
The majority of the women in this world will give birth to a child a least once in their life. We expect that whatever hospital or provider we go to will treat us with the best care they can no matter what the circumstance. This is not true for all parts of the world though.

Spangler performed this research to determine the difference in childbirth health care providers and the cost element of childbirth.

Global disparities in residences and households has existed for as long as society has with some households being more well off than others. The result of the financial situation of a family can determine the amount of antenatal care and delivery care provided to a mother and child, it also influences maternal mortality. The financial support of household can be the difference between a woman having access to care options and death. Women who receive at least four antenatal care sessions, the recommended about by The World Health Organisation (PROGRESS FOR CHILDREN, 2008) are far more likely to survive childbirth than woman who do not have the opportunity to have four antenatal visits. In West and Central Africa and South Asia where the disparities are at some of their largest in antenatal care, the top echelon of women ( the richest 20%) and the poorest women have vastly different attendance during antenatal can between 2010 and 2015.
