A woman cannot die from a pregnancy she does not have. Int Perspect Sex Reprod Health. 2011 Sep;37(3):155-8 Authors: Diamond-Smith N, Potts M Abstract More than 99% of maternal deaths occur in low-resource settings; in parts of the developing world, as many as one in six women die of maternal causes. Currently, seven developing countries-Afghanistan, Angola, Malawi, Niger, Rwanda, Sierra Leone and Tanzania-have maternal mortality ratios of at least 1,400 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births.
