The available global estimates suggest that in the year 2015, in excess of 5.5 million women and newborns lost their lives owing to complications in pregnancy, childbirth and in the first month of their life, including 0.3 million maternal deaths, 2.7 million newborn deaths, and 2.6 million stillbirths [1]. Moreover, under the newly proposed Sustainable Development Goals, ambitious targets have been set pertaining to maternal and child health [1-2].
