How have the funding cuts affected the healthcare infrastructure and access to essential maternal healthcare services in affected regions?

Reduced aid, particularly from the US and several European nations, is disrupting healthcare systems in lower-income countries, where over 90% of maternal deaths occur. The cuts affect access to treatment for leading causes of maternal death, such as hemorrhage, pre-eclampsia, and malaria, and have led to clinic closures and staff layoffs. This directly contradicts previous progress in reducing maternal mortality.
