The Barbara May Foundation provides sustainable maternal health care in developing countries. Every year over half a million women die from childbirth in developing countries which is about 1,000 women for every 100,000 births. For every death, another 30 women, which is estimated to be 2 million women, will suffer an obstetric fistula injury. The Foundation supports the work of medical missionaries Dr Andrew Browning and Valerie Browning AM in Africa who are developing a simple and sustainable network of maternal health care to decrease the high incidence of women and babies who die or are injured during childbirth.
