*“…….Countdown *collects and analyses data from the 68 countries that
account for at least 95% of maternal and child deaths. It produces country
profiles that present coverage data for a range of key health services,
including:

• Contraceptive use.

• Antenatal care.

• Skilled attendance at delivery.

• Postnatal care.

• Child health.

• Financial investments in maternal, newborn and child health.

• Equity of access, health systems and policy.

The 2010 report reviews progress over 2000–2010.

*Key findings*

The *2010 Countdown Decade Report *concludes that achieving MDGs 4 and 5 is
still possible by the deadline year 2015, but only a dramatic acceleration
of political commitment and financial investment can make it happen.

*
There is good news. *Many countries are making progress, reducing mortality
and increasing coverage of effective health interventions at an accelerating
pace. *But the news is not all good. *Many *Countdown *countries are still
off track for achieving MDGs 4 and 5 and are not increasing coverage of key
health interventions quickly enough. *Countdown *countries in Sub-Saharan
Africa are especially far behind, although a few have shown improvements.

*The vast majority of maternal and child deaths are preventable. *But
unacceptably large numbers of women, newborns and children are still dying
each year in *Countdown *countries.

* *

*Countdown to 2015: Tracking Progress in Maternal, Newborn and Child
Survival *was founded on a commitment by academics, governments,
international agencies, health care professional associations, donors and
nongovernmental organizations to work together towards achieving Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs) 4 and 5.

*Countdown *adds value by forging a clear, evidencebased consensus on
priority interventions and coverage indicators for maternal, newborn and
child health and by providing a mechanism for holding countries and their
partners accountable for results. *Countdown *also addresses MDG 1
(eradicate poverty and hunger), MDG 6 (combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other
diseases) and MDG 7 (ensure environmental sustainability).
