MANILA, Philippines — As the Philippines marked Mother's Day, the United Nations Population Fund on Sunday called for adequate reproductive health care for women to curb rising mortality rates in the country. In a statement, Leila Saiji Joudane, country representative of the UN Population Fund, said the Philippines should uphold its commitment to achieve universal access to sexual and reproductive health and reduce preventable maternal death to zero. 'With adequate support from health providers, family, and society, giving birth should be a very fulfilling and positive experience for mothers,' she said.
