Description

n December 2011, the Partnership for Maternal and Child Health (PMNCH) with partners the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Aga Khan University, released a new global consensus agreeing the key evidence-based interventions that will sharply reduce the 358,000 women who still die each year during pregnancy and childbirth and the 7.6 million children who die before the age of 5. The massive, three-year global study - The study, Essential Interventions, Commodities and Guidelines for Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn and Child Health –was designed to facilitate decision-making in low- and middle-income countries about how to allocate limited resources for maximum impact on the health of women and children.
