Report of the Sixth Meeting of the South-East Asia Regional Technical Advisory Group (‎SEAR-TAG)‎ and SRHR Technical Subcommittee (‎SEA/SRH/2)‎

Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals and its targets related to reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health has been a robust challenge, more so in the context of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

The WHO South-East Asia (SEA) Region has prioritized reproductive, maternal, newborn, child, adolescent health (RMNCAH) and declared it to be a Flagship Priority of the WHO Regional Director for South-East Asia for the period 2019–2023 to accelerate reduction of maternal, neonatal and under-five mortality along with improving universal health coverage (UHC) and emergency preparedness. The regional and country goals and targets to be achieved by 2030 related to stillbirths and neonatal mortality are shown in Table 1 and are aligned with the global targets.
