A woman dies every minute due to pregnancy related complications. Most of these complications are preventable and include hemorrhage and hypertensive disorder, ectopic pregnancy, and sepsis. Collectively, they result in more than 500,000 maternal deaths per year. In developing countries, complications of pregnancy and birth are the SECOND leading causes of death, following HIV/AIDS, among women aged 15-49.
Global Solutions in Reproductive Healthcare (GSRHC) is a non-profit organization that was founded by biomedical engineers working in the field of reproductive bioengineering. At its essence, engineering is a science specializing in developing solutions to often difficult problems. By applying the principles of biomedical engineering, we founded GSRHC as way to aid the global crisis in reproductive healthcare. Our mission is to transform women's healthcare in underserved regions through research and innovation. We believe that every woman should have access to the same quality of reproductive healthcare, regardless of socioeconomic status, religious and political beliefs, and geographical location. |
