Eduardo C. Janairo, MD, MPH Director IV National Center for Disease Prevention and Control
Assessment
Very slow decline of MMR in past 20 years Maternal deaths account for 14% of deaths among women of reproductive age Maternal death triggers other adverse consequences in families: orphans, loss of family care provider 17 infants die per 1,000 live births within first 28 days of life
