The two aspects to maternal health, the structural aspect and the more individual aspect. The structural aspect refers to the fact that basically a lot of the poverty and a lot of aspects connected to maternal health are actually driven by social injustice. There has to be a structural understanding of the dynamics. Second, the reproductive health bill which is closely associated with this issue I think needs further refinement. I personally am against abortion but at the same time I am also open to different types of contraceptives, education and support to ease down the problems of population pressure. But in my understanding of talking with different people involving this issue there's a lot of different understanding of definition of terms so I think that bill should be further refined.
