One-month-old M'Patsu Elias rests in the afternoon sun in her mother's lap. Although M'Patsu has severe asthma and a medical condition that will likely leave her blind, she cannot receive healthcare due to the high cost of medical treatment. M'Patsu is one of many babies in Malawi without adequate care due to the lack of information and opportunities for new mothers and pregnant women in Malawi. High infant mortality rates, high rates of teen pregnancy and widespread malnutrition are some of the many effects of the country's poor maternal healthcare system.
