Health System Strengthening and Respectful Care

Overview

By FIGO

This document complements FIGO’s Statement – Childbirth: A Bill of Rights – and highlights the need for global health system strengthening efforts and the importance of respectful care. Together with the bill of rights, it will help to power Sustainable Development Goals 3.1 and 3.2, which aim to reduce the global maternal mortality ratio to less than 70 per 100,000 live births and end preventable deaths of children and newborns by 2030.
