Community leader approaches

A community leader approaches you because many young mothers in her community are dying during and before childbirth. She mentions most girls in the community marry at the age of 16 and have their first child by the age of 18. The nearest hospital where most of these mothers go is 13 miles away and there is, on average, a 2-hour wait to see the nurse.

What three strategies would you suggest this community implement in order to address the problem of child and maternal mortality?

Why would you suggest those three strategies?
