solution, bit investment and facilities alone is not sufficient, an holistic strategy is needed that deals with the social issues as well as the financial issues. To develop a
strategy for intervention there is a great deal of value to be gained form first looking at the causes of the problem, which themselves are complex and then consider the
way that strategies have already been successfully developed in order to help improve the situation. When looking at the causes of the problems there are many types of conditions which
may be used as an example, one of the most significant health issues that impacts on mother and children is that of maternal mortality, especially in areas such as sub
Sahara Africa. This can be used as a framework to examine the inequality and inequity of healthcare in order to assess potential strategies however, when looking at the issues these
may be applied to many other areas of healthcare. The inequality terms of healthcare can be seen clearly between the developed and the developing world. Maternal mortality rates (MMR)
are heavily biased towards the poor environments. Overall 98% of the 600,000 maternal deaths that are seen each year occur in the developing countries and more than 90% of all
the maternal deaths are in Asia and Sub-Sahara Africa (Donnay, 2000). To put this into a more meaningful context for Africa while the maternal mortality rate in Northern Europe is
1 death per 4,000 births, in Sub-Saharan Africa this MMR is 1 death for every 12 births (Donnay, 2000). It is further
