Philippines is very poor.

2. Give two (2) possible reasons why maternal health is the most neglected aspect in
community health programs. Justify.

risk factor for maternal mortality. When Socioeconomic status is low, medical care is
inadequate and this has been attributed to adverse outcomes specifically poor obstetric
outcomes whereas for geographic areas, the closer the geographic proximity the obstetric care
facilities were located, the more likely a pregnant women were to use institutional deliveries.
