Your life matters every mother deserves dignity, respect and safe care. If the hospital staff neglect you, delay care, or treat you badly, you have the right to speak up and ask for a second opinion or transfer. In 2023 alone, over 260,000 women died worldwide from pregnancy or childbirth complications many deaths were preventable with proper care.
Don’t stay silent. If something feels wrong too much delay, rude treatment, or lack of attention ask to see another doctor, request a referral to a better facility, involve your birth partner or a trusted family member, or call a maternal health advocate. Your voice can save your life.
