Abstract

Despite substantial progress during the Millennium Development Goals era, figures remain staggering: 303 000 women died due to pregnancy or childbirth-related causes in 2015;1 225 million women wanting to avoid pregnancy do not use safe and effective family planning;2 and 45% of all under-5 deaths happen during the neonatal period.3
