A number of initiatives that commenced
in recent years are geared towards achievement of the fifth
millennium development goal (MDG 5: improving maternal
health), most notably the launch of the global strategy for
women's and children's health in 2010 by the
United Nations (UN) Secretary-General. Measuring the MDG 5
target of reducing the maternal mortality ratio (MMR) by
three quarters between 1990 and 2015 remains a challenge.
Accordingly, the maternal mortality estimation inter-agency
group (MMEIG), comprising the World Health Organization
(WHO), the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), the
United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), the United Nations
Population Division (UNPD), and the World Bank, together
with a team at the National University of Singapore and
University of California at Berkeley, United States of
America, have been working together to generate
internationally comparable MMR estimates. The estimates for
2013 presented in this report are the seventh in a series of
analyses by the MMEIG to examine the global extent of
maternal mortality. Consultations with countries were
carried out following the development of the MMR estimates.
The purposes of the consultations were: to give countries
the opportunity to review the country estimates, data
sources, and methods; to obtain additional primary data
sources that may not have been previously reported or used
in the analyses; and to build mutual understanding of the
strengths and weaknesses of available data and ensure broad
ownership of the results. This report presents global,
regional, and country estimates of maternal mortality in
2013, as well as trends from 1990 to 2013. The report is
organized as follows: chapter one gives introduction;
chapter two provides an overview of the definitions and
approaches for measuring maternal mortality. Chapter three
is a detailed description of the methodology employed in
generating the estimates. Chapter four presents the
estimates and interpretation of the findings. Chapter five
assesses the progress towards MDG 5. The annexes and
appendices presents the sources of data for the country
estimates, as well as MMR estimates for the different
regional groupings for UNFPA, UNICEF, the UNPD, WHO, and the
World Bank. |
