FACTS AND FIGURES
2.6 billion: the total number of people in the world without access to improved sanitary facilities in 2006. In low-income countries, 65% of the population face health risks because of inadequate sanitation.
47 million: the number of pregnant women worldwide who gave birth without skilled care in 2006. In low-income countries, over half of all deliveries take place without a skilled health care worker present, increasing the risks to health for both women and for their babies.
US$ 16: per capita expenditure on health in low-income countries in 2005. The corresponding figure for high-income countries was US$ 2672.
