Ashford, Lori S. Vlassoff, Michael Summary: n the developing world, deaths and poor health among women and newborns have remained too high for too long, despite decades of international agreements declaring the need for urgent action to improve well-being among these groups. More effective action is needed now, especially given the strong evidence of the benefits of investing in the health of women and their newborns: fewer unintended pregnancies; fewer maternal and newborn deaths; healthier mothers and children; greater family savings and productivity; and better prospects for educating children, strengthening economies and reducing the pres-sure on natural resources in developing countries. Because of these far-reaching benefits, increased investment in family planning and maternal and newborn health services could accelerate progress toward achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), which were set in 2000 with targets for 2015. These services for women and infants are highly cost-effective, and they are complementary because the health of mothers and of their babies is intertwined. A continuum of care is needed to help individuals and couples plan their pregnancies and to provide timely antenatal, delivery and postpartum ser-vices, including urgent care for complications that arise among women and newborns. 2012-12-28T22:07:12Z 2022-11-08T10:20:23Z 2012-12-28T22:07:12Z 2022-11-08T10:20:23Z 2009 Technical Report http://103.69.126.140:8080/handle/123456789/776 en_US application/pdf GUTTMACHER INSTITUTE
