The authors discuss a study by Carine Ronsmans and colleagues which assessed the effects of loss of parents on the survival of children in rural Bangladesh. They claim that the study was able to show a devastating effect of the death of the mother on children's survival. They argue that although efforts to reduce maternal mortality are complex, agreed strategies exist for reducing maternal mortality in developing countries, such as Bangladesh.
