| description |
This study aims to contribute to the
debate about the appropriateness of health-related
Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) for the countries of the
Europe and Central Asia region. It is primarily addressed at
policy advisors and senior analysts at the local, regional,
and global level, who could influence the strategic
directions of policymakers. The study is of particular
relevance to international development institutions and UN
organizations, who might have to reconsider the focus of
their health-related development assistance to the countries
of the ECA region. The study examines how appropriate the
health-related MDGs are for the countries of the ECA region
by analyzing the impact of the following four scenarios on
life expectancy at birth: achieving MDG targets for infant,
child, and maternal mortality; reducing infant, child, and
maternal mortality to EU levels; reducing infant, child, and
maternal mortality to the lowest subregional levels;
reducing deaths from cardiovascular disease and external
causes of death to EU levels. Because national registration
data on infant and child mortality in countries of Central
Asia and the Caucasus underestimate the true figure, the
first three scenarios were recalculated for these countries
in an additional calculation, using survey-based World Bank data. |
