Belarus has almost half as many maternal deaths per live birth as the country just 2 spots below. What kind of Juche Necromancy are they using?

    According to this article :

    Maternal health care in Belarus received some overdue attention. Between 2005 and 2010, several health resolutions were initiated under the new Government of the Republic of Belarus, including a greater focus on reducing maternal mortality rates.

    One such initiative was to build health facilities in rural areas, so that expectant Belarusian mothers in agricultural townships would have the same access to care as their urban counterparts. Another was to create a multileveled perinatal care system, made possible with the support of the head of state who approved the allocation of funds to improve maternal health care in Belarus. This included employing almost 2,700 obstetrician-gynecologists to treat a population of roughly 4.8 million women of fertile age. This initiative was implemented in 2005.

      I read the article. And like, half of it is just bizarre USSR bashing with an ideological lens (even though soviet-era USSR was still ranked highly in the world), while the post-USSR era Belarussian healthcare system is analyzed materialistically.

      Well, it's still somewhat interesting information.
