Managing Programmes on Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn, Child and Adolescent Health

Overview

The WHO South-East Asia Region has in recent years accelerated reductions in maternal, newborn and child mortality. Between 1990 and 2018 the Region's estimated decline in under-five and neonatal mortality was around 72% and 62%, respectively. Between 2000 and 2017 the Region achieved a decline in the maternal mortality ratio of more than 57%, and between 2000 and 2019 reduced the stillbirth rate by 50%.

Member States are to be commended on the path-breaking change they have achieved. Progressive improvements in the coverage of evidence-based interventions for reproductive, maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health (RMNCAH) are responsible for the Region's progress and must continue to be strengthened to ensure that no person or community is left behind.
