Countdown to 2015: Accountability for Maternal, Newborn & Child Survival: The 2013 Update

In ‘Accountability for Maternal Newborn and Child Survival; the 2013 Update’, Countdown publishes the latest data for 75 countries that account for over 95% of maternal and child deaths. The 2013 Update highlights country achievements in increasing coverage of key interventions, and identifies remaining challenges many countries face in reaching all women and children with life-saving services. With fewer than 1,000 days remaining until the 2015 deadline for the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), this report provides urgently-needed evidence about country progress –and challenges preventing progress – in scaling up the health interventions that work to save women’s and children’s lives
