Upcoming WHO Resolution must galvanize action to tackle preventable Maternal and Child Mortality

​​​​In addition, almost 1*9 million babies were stillborn in 2021. The stark reality is that 46 countries are projected to have a ratio greater than 140 maternal deaths per 100 000 livebirths by 2030, 59 countries will miss the SDG target for mortality for those younger than 5 years, and even more--64 countries--will miss the neonatal mortality target.
