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 [...]

Population and climate change: who will the grand convergence leave behind?

Campbell M, Casterline J, Castillo F, Graves A, Hall T, May J, Perlman D, Potts M, Speidel J, Walsh J, Wehner M, Zulu E

Lancet, 2014

For many developing countries, investments in health have proved a great success. The Lancet Commission “Global health 2035: a world converging within a generation” and the 2014 Gates annual letter envision the possibility of a “grand convergence” by which more countries will have a child mortality rate as low as 15 per 1000 livebirths in 20 [...]

Making Cairo work

Potts M, Walsh J

Lancet, 1999

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.

Lancet, 2010
