Abstract

Millennium Development Goal (MDG) 5 Target 5A calls for the reduction of maternal mortality ratio by three quarters between 1990 and 2015. It has been a challenge to assess the extent of progress due to the lack of reliable and accurate maternal mortality data -- particularly in developing-country settings where maternal mortality is high. As part of ongoing efforts the WHO UNICEF UNFPA and The World Bank updated estimates of maternal mortality for the years 1990 1995 2000 2005 and 2010.
