Millennium development goal 5: situation analysis.

摘要

At the Millennium Summit in September 2000, world leaders adopted the United Nations Millennium Declaration, which included attainment of the eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) by 2015 (Table 1) (1). The first seven MDGs are aimed at reducing poverty and promoting human development while the eighth MDG recognises the essence of global partnership in achieving the first seven. The three MDGs directly related to health (MDGs 4-6) are interdependent so concerted efforts are needed to achieve them.
