for excellent outcomes. Nurses in Macedonia have experiencing a lot of success by putting into practice the updated knowledge about evidence based practice which improve their clinical performance, therefore, they have seen a significant drop in mortality for different health issues.

According to a Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR) study of 2008/09 done by the ministry of health and population in Nepal, suicide was found to be the leading cause of death among the Nepalese women. Nepal is a landlocked country with the population of 26.5 million among whom 51.5% are female while 48.5% are male (Central Bureau of Statistics, 2011) .

indicate another possible index of measurement for economic development – the Infant Mortality Rate (IMR). Several researchers contend that the Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) should be a basis in determining the country’s economic status. These two methods differ in many ways. Each mentioned index has respective processes to follow and to come up with an accurate data and is used in their respective rights. Infant mortality rate is basically mentioned in health and demography while GDP more on financial
makeshift homes on just 6 per cent of the city's residential land area. The shanty towns are built on any spare land such as swamps or even rubbish tips, this promotes major heath issues to the people who live there which is probably why infant mortality rates are so high in these shanty town areas.

maternal morbidity and mortality include hemorrhage, infection, obstructed labor, risky abortions, and indirect causes, such as malaria and HIV. With a growing knowledge of sterilization, and advent of antibiotics, the Global North experienced a major drop in maternal mortality and morbidity. In 2009, the US maternal mortality ratio was 24/per 100,000 live births, 10 times lower than global averages, 260. Off the US coast, the island nation of Haiti’s maternal mortality ratio is 300 per 100,000
Maternal health aims in achieving the highest quality of life for women throughout their childbearing years. Maternal mortality rate, according to our book, is the death of a woman during pregnancy and/or 48 hours post-pregnancy.

The diseases that cause high death rates are bacterial and protozoal diarrhea
In 1985, Moer coined the term ‘birth myth’ to describe Frankenstein as a “woman’s book” about post-natal depression (79), and this idea has since been developed upon. However, the tradition of understanding Frankenstein as a ‘birth myth’ has been primarily considered in light of the biographical details of Mary Shelley’s life and their correspondence with her work. Particular attention has been given to the impact of her mother’s death shortly after Shelley’s birth and the subsequent trauma of the

Conclusions drawn from the study showed that people who got less than 7-8 hours of sleep on average per night, had a higher mortality rate. A six year follow-up was done to the people surveyed. The results showed that men 30 years old or older that got 4 hours of sleep a night had more than double the risk of dying than men who averaged 7-8 hours. The risk was only about 1.5 times
