More than 100 million children under five were underweight in 2010.
While maternal and child mortality have declined globally by about a third since 1990, overall progress is insufficient. The lowest annual rates of decline are in the African and Eastern Mediterranean region. Coverage of effective interventions for reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health has remained uneven and is low for those interventions that cannot be scheduled. Quality of services remains a concern in many settings, leading to gaps in the continuum of care. National data on coverage levels often hide important disparities among population subgroups. Furthermore, too few countries have adopted recent evidence-based policies to increase access to essential reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health interventions.

Sixteen countries announced new commitments to dramatically reduce maternal, newborn and child mortality, as part of the Global Strategy for Women's and Children's Health. Nine of the 16 countries represent the African continent, in addition to the 18 commitments made in September 2010 by African States. The commitments include measures such as contraceptive use, attended childbirth, improved access to emergency obstetric care, PMCHT and childhood immunization. United Nations, 2011

Millennium development goal (MDG) 5 Target 5A calls for the reduction of maternal mortality ratio (MMR) 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 on going efforts, the WHO, 蘑菇视频ICEF, 蘑菇视频FPA and the World Bank revised and improved earlier methods to estimate maternal mortality in 1990, 1995, 2000, 2005, and 2008; and developed methodology to present trends in maternal mortality from 1990 to 2008 at country, regional, and global levels.

Every year around 8 million young children die of preventable causes, and more than 350,000 women die from preventable complications related to pregnancy and childbirth. These unacceptable deaths can and must be avoided by ensuring that all women and children get the prevention, treatment and care they need.
With just five years left to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), 2010 presents us with a historic opportunity. The揋lobal Strategy for Women抯 and Children抯 Health� sets out how we can work together to save women and children. Over the past year, supported by the United Nations Secretary-General Ban ki-moon, leaders from government, international organizations, business, academia, philanthropy, health professional associations and civil society have come together to develop this strategy, recognizing that the health of women and children is key to progress on all development goals.

Obstetric fistula is a devastating injury of childbearing that leaves women with agonising pain, chronic incontinence and - in most cases - a stillborn baby. The global Campaign to End Fistula currently covers more than 35 countries in sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia and the Arab region. The goal is to make fistula as rare in developing countries as it is in the industrialized world. 蘑菇视频FPA, 2006
