Tracking Resources for Women’s and Children’s Health

Overview

The health of women and children is at the forefront of the development agenda. Despite this, we have been making less progress on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs 4 & 5) that relate to women and children’s health than any of the other MDGs. Improving health outcomes for mothers, newborns, and children requires suffi cient funding for the implementation of proven interventions that span the continuum of care; from pre-pregnancy to delivery, the postnatal period, and childhood.
