Pakistan is observing 'World Mothers Day' on Sunday in the backdrop of fact that a mother dies here every twenty minutes due to complications of pregnancy, as is largely denied of quality and efficient health care facilities. It is a mother who is in control of the selection of food and its preparation in line with health standards, who trains her family in matters of personal hygiene and solid waste disposal and decides whether she or any one in her family needs help from health services.
This, thus becomes critical that women in general and mothers in particular are educated, allowed access to resources and involved in decision making in order to carry out the priceless services they provide.
