13:25Now PlayingFor more than a decade, Nigeria has been the most dangerous place on Earth to give birth. Nigerian women are dying from pregnancy or childbirth complications. Almost a third of maternal mortality deaths happen in the country. According to the World Health Organization, 75,000 women in Nigeria died from pregnancy-related complications in 2023 alone. That's one death every seven minutes, most of them from preventable complications. The leading killer is postpartum hemorrhage, or severe bleeding after birth, that can turn joy into tragedy in minutes. DW's Olisa Chukwumah reports on an NGO working to bring help where it is needed most.
