RISBibTexAPAMaking Cairo work
The 1994 International Conference on Population and Development set broad new goals for family planning and reproductive health. The resources available to fund these much needed programmes, however, are much smaller than was originally calculated. To divide the limited budgets for the maximum health impact, likely resource flows need to be set against the cost of various family planning and reproductive health interventions. Preliminary analysis suggests that selection of cost-effective delivery of family planning services would still meet much of the need for family planning, and that some progress could be made towards improved control of sexually transmitted diseases.

The role of private providers in maternal health
Agrawal P, Campball O, Prata N
Lancet, 2014
Every day, nearly 800 women die from complications of pregnancy and childbirth. A great many of these deaths are preventable; however, there is no single, straightforward solution. Because identification of every woman who will have a life-threatening complication during pregnancy or childbirth is impossible, saving of women's lives during pregnancy and childbirth needs a systems [...]
