| description |
Maldives, a middle income country, is on
track to meet most of the Millennium Development Goals
(MDGs), while gender gap requires attention. Maldives has
made great progress in improving maternal health and has
achieved MDG. The total fertility rate has declined to 2.3
in 2012. Contraceptive use has increased but high unmet need
of 28.1 percent is of concern. Skilled birth attendance is
high at 95 percent. Access to maternal health services is
fairly equitable by residence and wealth quintile, while
geographical access to services remains challenging. Also,
unwanted pregnancies among young women are on the rise.
Maldives has initiated a number of interventions to increase
adolescents needs for sexual and reproductive health
services, improve quality of RMNCH services, and increase
utilization of health services at local level. |
