Description
Bangladesh has among the highest rates of maternal mortality in the world.
One in 500 women die during pregnancy or child birth, and in some areas that number is doubled.
Most of the deaths are preventable, but even the most basic resources are often scarce, with three out of four women giving birth at home.
Al Jazeera's Shamim Chowdhury reports from Habiganj.
