Conclusions and recommendations Summary "This report lays out the recommendations of the UN Millennium Project Task Force on Child Health and Maternal Health. The task force recommends the rapid and equitable scale-up of such interventions as the Integrated Management of Childhood illness, the universal provision of emergency obstetric care, access to reproductive health services, and the strengthening of health systems. This will require that health systems be seen as social institutions and that access to health services be considered a fundamental right. This bold yet practical approach will enable every country to reduce the under-five mortality rate by two-thirds and the maternal mortality ratio by three-quarters by 2015"--Jacket Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 160-185) Notes Print version record Subject UN Millennium Project.
