Overview
The WHO South-East Asia Region has made significant progress towards ending preventable maternal and newborn
deaths. Between 2000 and 2019, the Region reduced its maternal mortality rate by more than 57% and neonatal
mortality rate by 60%. However, most countries of the Region must accelerate progress to meet national, regional and global Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) targets, and to fulfill the Region’s Flagship Priorities on accelerating reductions in maternal, neonatal and under-five mortality, and on achieving universal health coverage.
