According to the World Health Organization (WHO), two-thirds of preventable maternal deaths occur in developing countries, with nearly half occurring in sub-Saharan Africa. In Sub-Saharan Africa, a mother's risk of dying in childbirth is 1 in 38, 10 times higher than in developed countries. Similarly, risks to the fetus are also significantly higher in developing countries, which account for 98% o

f all stillbirths. Many of the causes of maternal and fetal death are preventable. GIRHL wishes to address the core causes of these rates of morbidity and mortality. Developed countries have access to modern reproductive healthcare resources such as birth control, surgical intervention, and prenatal care. However, access to these services is made possible by infrastructure that requires decades for countries to develop as well as political and economic stability. Therefore, we must innovate to meet reproductive health needs on a global scale. At GIRHL, we utilize a scientific approach from an engineering perspective to foster innovation.
