    "content": "Women who have lost a child or pregnancy receive 14 per cent of support. Some of the support infrastructure need to be improved. I would like to urge Sen. Kibwana to improve this Motion to include proper remuneration and support to the community health care workers. In the villages today, a community healthcare worker is responsible for helping women get to hospital while fighting the taboo and stigma associated with it. In a day, they deal with five cases of pregnant women. This healthcare worker is sometimes assigned about 63 to 70 villages which means that they deal with almost 400 people. When one or two deaths occur in these hospitals out of the five cases the community health worker is dealing with, they come back to them. As we look keenly at dealing with the trauma and stress that women who have lost children and mothers who have lost pregnancies go through, we should also focus on the reduction in maternal and neonatal mortality. We can reduce those deaths by empowering the personnel we have in our current structure and that include the Community Health Workers (CHW)."
