Improving maternal and newborn/child health are two of the most critical Millennium Development Goals (MDGs 4 & 5). Each year, some 350,000 women die, and many more suffer complications associated with pregnancy and childbirth. Moreover, of the ten million child deaths per year, four million occur in the first four weeks of life from causes such as preterm birth, severe infection, and asphyxia. With adequate access to prevention and care during pregnancy and childbirth, the lives of many women and children can be saved.
Population Council focus
Since the 1980s, the Council has actively sought to reduce maternal and newborn mortality and morbidity by contributing to the evidence base on which policies and programs are developed. Council activities include: understanding the determinants of maternal and newborn health (MNH)–seeking behavior; designing and pilot-testing innovative strategies to deliver essential and emergency care; providing rigorous evaluation of national program strategies; and scaling up proven delivery models.
The Council seeks to improve the quality and effectiveness of antenatal, delivery, and postpartum care for mothers and newborns. The needs of women living with HIV and of young and poor mothers are a particular focus. The Council’s projects related to maternal and newborn health focus on three areas:
Please also see the Council's work on improving maternal morbidity and mortality by expanding access to safe abortion care and postabortion care services.
Population Council impact
- Pregnant and postpartum women require varied preventive and curative services. Council research is providing policy and programmatic guidance for strategies by which a comprehensive range of services, targeted to each woman's needs, can be provided in an integrated manner.
- While numerous effective and affordable technologies that can save the lives of women and their newborns in resource-poor settings are known, the Council is developing feasible and sustainable strategies that enable developing-country programs to increase their availability and accessibility.
- The Council supported the scale-up of a community-based model that enabled women to give birth safely at home or be referred to a hospital when attended by self-employed skilled midwives living in rural communities in Kenya. Midwives receive refresher training, bicycles to expand their access, and supplies to encourage home visits, in addition to business training to enable them to become self-employed health care providers.
