Improving the survival chances and quality of life of women, newborns, and children remains an urgent global challenge. Since 2012, substantial progress has been made in reducing maternal and under-5 deaths, and a only handful of countries are on target to meet the SDG targets in 2030.

Increasing coverage, strengthening the quality of care, and enhancing equity will be tantamount to our global progress.
