Health MDG’s: what was been achieved in improving maternal and child health

摘要

In 2000, world leaders agreed on the eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)—which range from halving extreme poverty to halting the spread of HIV/AIDS, reducing maternal and child mortality and providing universal primary education. MDG 4 called for reducing the under-five mortality rate by two thirds between 1990 and 2015, and MDG 5 set the ambitious targets of reducing the maternal mortality ratio by three quarters during the same period and achieving universal access to reproductive health.
