Acceleration in Decrease of Maternal Mortality on Developing Regions
Journal Title: Public Health Open Access - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (UN SDG) No. 3 on maternal health stated that maternal mortality has fallen by almost 50 per cent since 1990, but maternal mortality ratio – the proportion of mothers that do not survive childbirth compared to those who do – in developing regions is still 14 times higher than in the developed regions. More women are receiving antenatal care. In developing regions, antenatal care increased from 65 per cent in 1990 to 83 per cent in 2012, but only half of women in developing regions receive the recommended amount of health care they need.
