From the united nations
For this goal, the United Nations has two sets of goals, because there are two main aspects of pregnancy. First, you have to make sure that mothers aren't dying when they have children, and second, you have to make sure that women that want to get pregnant are able to.
The Mortality Ratio
Reproductive Health
The Mortality Ratio
- Maternal mortality has nearly halved since 1990. An estimated 287,000 maternal deaths occurred in 2010 worldwide, a decline of 47 per cent from 1990, but levels are far removed from the 2015 target.
- The maternal mortality ratio in developing regions is still 15 times higher than in the developed regions.
- The rural-urban gap in skilled care during childbirth has narrowed.
Reproductive Health
- More women are receiving antenatal care.
- More pregnant women are receiving care with the recommended frequency, but gaps still exist in regions most in need.
- Fewer teens are having children in most developing regions, but progress has slowed.
- The large increase in contraceptive use in the 1990s was not matched in the 2000s.
- The unmet need for family planning remains persistently high in regions with low levels of contraceptive use.
- Official Development Assistance for reproductive health care and family planning remains low.
From Russia
Russia decided to combine goals 4 & 5 because they're so clearly related. Here are the goals:
1. Increase life expectancy and reduce mortality from major causes.
2. Promote changeover in society to a healthier life style.
3. Reduce the mortality rate of children under five by at least 50% by 2015, as compared with 1990 (from 215 to 11 per 1000).
4. Reduce maternal mortality by at least 50% in the period 1990-2015.
