“….In recent years, two important changes in maternal health have taken
place worldwide: a reduction in global maternal mortality, and an increase
in the proportion of childbirths occurring in health facilities. Although
substantial progress has been made, the fifth Millennium Development Goal
to reduce the maternal mortality ratio by three quarters before 2015 will
be missed.

****

Against this backdrop, The Lancet publishes a special themed issue to
coincide with
*the third Women Deliver conference in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on May 28–30,
2013. <http://bit.ly/10VM4K7>
*Women Deliver brings together voices from around the world to generate
political commitment and resource investments to improve the health and
well-being of girls and women and achieve universal access to reproductive
health.

****

The studies published in The Lancet's themed issue use different methods to
show the multidimensional nature of reproductive health and the influence
of social determinants and health systems….”
