The authors are calling on governments and donors to prioritise this strategy over alternatives, such as home births with a relative, traditional birth attendant, community health worker or midwife, to save the lives of over half a million women who die in pregnancy or childbirth each year. > > The five papers that form the The Lancet maternal survival series present the evidence for adopting the health centre strategy worldwide and detail the action required for its roll-out, including immediate priorities for governments and donors. The authors warn that without political commitment and investment into this approach, substantial declines in maternal mortality are unlikely in the next 10-20 years, and the fifth Millennium Development Goal-to reduce maternal mortality by 75% by 2015- will not be met. Maternal survival is closely linked to newborn and child survival, which is the fourth MDG. The Lancet most recently covered this in a child survival special issue. : > http://www.thelancet.com/collections/neonatal_survival_mdg4 > > Healthy motherhood: an urgent call to action > Horton R - (DOI: 10.1016/S0140-6736(06)69389-6) Full Text > > Safe motherhood initiative: 20 years and counting > Starrs AM - (DOI: 10.1016/S0140-6736(06)69385-9) Full Text > > Meeting MDG-5: an impossible dream? > Rosenfield A, Maine D, Freedman L - (DOI: 10.1016/S0140-6736(06) 69386-0) Full Text > > Where is maternal and child health now? > Lawn JE, Tinker A, Munjanja SP, Cousens S - (DOI: 10.1016/S0140-6736 (06)69387-2) Full Text > > An alternative strategy to reduce maternal mortality > Costello A, Azad K, Barnett S - (DOI: 10.1016/S0140-6736(06)69388-4) Full Text > > Maternal mortality: who, when, where, and why > Ronsmans C, Graham WJ, on behalf of The Lancet Maternal Survival Series steering group - (DOI: 10.1016/S0140-6736(06)69380-X) > Summary | Full Text > > Strategies for reducing maternal mortality: getting on with what works > Campbell OM, Graham WJ, on behalf of The Lancet Maternal Survival Series steering group - (DOI: 10.1016/S0140-6736(06)69381-1) > Summary | Full Text > > Going to scale with professional skilled care > Koblinsky M, Matthews Z, Hussein J, Mavalankar D, Mridha MK, Anwar I, Achadi E, Adjei S, Padmanabhan P, van Lerberghe W, on behalf of The Lancet Maternal Survival Series steering group - (DOI: 10.1016/S0140-6736(06) 69382-3) > Summary | Full Text > > Mobilising financial resources for maternal health > Borghi J, Ensor T, Somanathan A, Lissner C, Mills A, on behalf of The Lancet Maternal Survival Series steering group - (DOI: 10.1016/S0140-6736(06) 69383-5) > Summary | Full Text > > Maternal health in poor countries: the broader context and a call for action > Filippi V, Ronsmans C, Campbell OM, Graham WJ, Mills A, Borghi J, Koblinsky M, Osrin D - (DOI: 10.1016/S0140-6736(06)69384-7) > Summary | Full Text > > Worldwide time trends in the prevalence of symptoms of asthma, allergic rhinoconjunctivitis, and eczema in childhood: > ISAAC Phases One and Three repeat multicountry cross-sectional surveys > Asher MI, Montefort S, Björkstén B, Lai CK, Strachan DP, Weiland SK, Williams H, > The ISAAC Phase Three Study Group - 26 August 2006 (Vol. 368, Issue 9537, pages 733-743) Summary | Full Text > > Rotavirus vaccines: current prospects and future challenges > Glass RI, Parashar UD, Bresee JS, Turcios R, Fischer TK, Widdowson MA, Jiang B, Gentsch JR - > 22 July 2006 (Vol. 368, Issue 9532, pages 323-332) Summary | Full Text > > Effect of timing of umbilical cord clamping on iron status in Mexican infants: a randomised controlled trial > Chaparro CM, Neufeld LM, Tena Alavez G, Eguia-Líz Cedillo R, Dewey KG - > 17 June 2006 (Vol. 367, Issue 9527, pages 1997-2004) Summary | Full Text > > Child health in armed conflict: time to rethink > Zwi AB, Grove NJ, Kelly P, Gayer M, Ramos-Jimenez P, Sommerfeld J - > 10 June 2006 (Vol. 367, Issue 9526, pages 1886-1888) Full Text > > View other articles in this collection: > .
