The unveiling of the 2000 mother and child facility care is in line with the priority of Mississippi
state in ensuring high standards in healthcare as it is depicted in the US constitution. Also, this
facility is under President Trump’s agenda of making America great again. Besides, the high
investment of the mother and childcare facility shall see an improvement within the maternal and
Mississippi State has for long suffered from elevated rates of maternal morbidity as well as high
mortality rates. The current statistics set the maternal mortality rate at 200 deaths per 100,000

2010. Consequently, for each woman who loses life at childbirth in Mississippi state, an estimate
complications emanating during the pregnancy period or delivery time. By extensive and broad,
elevated rates have persisted regardless of improved health services within other health
indicators made in the last past decade (Ward, 2017). The fueling factor is, in fact, the lack of
access to quality maternal health services in the form of delivery, ante-natal, and post-natal
services. Even though the healthcare infrastructure has grown over the past ten years, many
women are believed to be at a considerable distance away from healthcare centers, inadequate
finances for maternal services, or are faced with barriers in accessing healthcare facilities. In that
case, their access to skilled delivery seems to be a challenge. Inclusive, a percentile of 52 births
in Mississippi county is under the supervision of professional birth attendant which appears to be
below the 90% targets in the deliveries done in 2010 (Ward, 2017). Besides, homecare deliveries
under the supervision of traditional attendants are at least 28% of births, births assisted by friends
and relatives amounting to 21% while 7% of such deliveries mothers receive zero assistance or
Targeted Audience
This facility targets women and children for ultimate healthcare during delivery and reduces
hospital stays for mothers who receive C-section. In this case, the Mississippi women who seem
to have been trekking long distances to reach public referral hospitals are the target. Besides the
Mississippi county hospital is one of the densely populated and hence mothers do not receive
ultimate care.
