BIRTHBAG
For every mother in a dangerous environment.
It is for pregnant women and babies in situations where they do not receive medical care when giving birth. For instance, In the developing world, a woman has a 1 in 76 lifetime risk of maternal death, compared with a probability of 1 in 8,000 for women in developed countries. Approximately 99 percent of global deaths arising from pregnancy and complications occur in the developing world, where having a child remains among the most serious health risks for women.
Birth bag would protect the body from external infections that became vulnerable during and after childbirth.
When not in use, it can be stored in the form of a bag for convenient transportation and storage.
