In Sudan, maternal mortality is approximately 311 per 100,000. The key causes for maternal mortality are pre-eclampsia, followed by post-partum hemorage; complications, which can easily be detected via ultrasound.
Whilst women in Sudan generally get scans the moment they suspect pregnancy, and tend to get their routine scans per trimester, the number of competent ultrasound professionals are low. And, due to the low cost of scans (around $1-4) practitioners are often unable to take a structured approach to scanning.
