Lancet Series 2016: Maternal Health
2016
This Lancet Series addresses current knowledge of maternal health, its epidemiology, successes, and current failings. In addition to broad surveys of the state of maternal health and care worldwide, the series papers also examine the burden of poor maternal health as well as the role of health systems in maternal care. The series concludes with a call to action setting out five key targets within the context of the broader sustainable development goals (SDGs). Accompanying resources include an eight-page executive summary and a photo gallery depicting maternal challenges of Syrian refugees in Turkey.
