Women’s Health in Low- and Middle-Income Countries

Women’s health in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) remains a critical global health concern, marked by profound disparities in access to care, health outcomes, and disease burden when compared to higher-income nations. In LMICs, women often face a combination of structural, economic, social, and cultural barriers that hinder their ability to access essential healthcare services throughout their lives. High rates of maternal mortality, limited reproductive health services, gender-based violence, malnutrition, infectious diseases, and chronic conditions disproportionately affect women and girls in these regions. Maternal health continues to be one of the most urgent concerns in LMICs. While global efforts have led to a decline in maternal mortality, the vast majority of maternal deaths—approximately 94%—still occur in LMICs, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. Many of these deaths are preventable and result from complications such as postpartum hemorrhage, sepsis, hypertensive disorders, and obstructed labor, often due to a lack of skilled birth attendants, emergency obstetric care, and access to antenatal services. Unsafe abortion remains a significant contributor to maternal morbidity and mortality, largely due to restrictive laws and insufficient access to contraception and post-abortion care.
