NZ a pretty good place to be a mum

A study has found New Zealand is the fourth best country in the world to be a mother.
Save the Children has come up with the rankings based on which countries are best at reaching children with basic healthcare measures.
Executive Director John Bowis says Mother's Day is a chance to remind ourselves that while New Zealand mothers are reasonably well off, there are many others who are not. He says a typical New Zealand mum can expect to live to be around 83 and have access to contraception. He says that is very different to what mothers can expect in places like Africa where life expectancy is just 45 and only four percent of women have access to contraception.
New Zealand ranks behind Sweden, Norway and Iceland. Australia comes in at sixth, while the UK sits on 14th.
hmmmmm, do anyone agree with this?
