Amnesty International just uploaded this video. Watch it and then read this article on CNN.com about pregnancy and childbirth in Peru. Both resources come out of a new report launched by Amnesty International called "Fatal Flaws: Barriers to Maternal Health in Peru" which found that hundreds of poor, rural and indigenous pregnant women are dying because they are being denied the same health services as other women in the country. It also concluded that the government's response to tackling the problem was inadequate. Is this is a violation of human rights?
Also, read this case study from Health Affairs about improving maternal mortality rates in Peru.
