Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what steps they are taking, together with partners in Zimbabwe, to help reduce the maternal mortality rate in that country.

The UK has supported and will continue to support essential sexual, reproductive, maternal, new-born, child and adolescent health and nutrition services in Zimbabwe. Alongside international partners, our 'Supporting a Resilient Health System' programme (£130 million, 2017-22) has benefitted 5.4 million women and children in Zimbabwe through delivering essential sexual, reproductive, maternal, new-born, child and adolescent health and nutrition services.
