Richard Gordon

I believe that it is really staggering to know that at least 162 mothers still die out of every hundred thousand in this country when they give child birth. That means there's still lack of education, lack of preparations before pregnancy and lack of access to adequate medical care. And that is why it is important that we focus on this, I think we can reach the goal of 52 deaths in the year 2015. I'm suggesting that all these people with health background can be utilized to assist in the country side and to go on a massive education campaign so that mothers can be prepared for this. Second, in terms of population, I subscribe to the idea of a system of disincentives. For example, if you have two, then you should no longer be qualified for free public education or free public health services. It is important that we have responsibilities; we cannot just go on roulette in terms of trying to find out how we can address this child birth.
