Uganda's Mothers' index

Having been blessed with a baby born in Uganda one month ago, i took time to go through some statistics concerning Uganda's maternal status. The figures are really alarming and a successful birth in Uganda and several African countries is surely by God's grace.

Lifetime risk of maternal death: 1 in 44
Under-5 mortality rate (per 1,000 live births): 66.1
Expected number of years of formal schooling: 9.8
Gross national income per capita: 550 US $
Mother's index rank: 141/179

These should not be taken for granted! Developing countries have to address this seriously. Why would someone risk their life after taking into consideration these numbers? No wonder our leader's descendants have to be born elsewhere! No No No and No. God bless us.
