The two targets for assessing MDG 5 are reducing the maternal mortality ratio (MMR) by three quarters between 199 and 2, and achieving universal access to reproductive health by 2.

The purposes of the consultations were primarily: to give countries the opportunity to review the country estimates, data sources and methods; to obtain additional primary data sources that may not have been previously reported or used; and to build mutual understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of available data and ensure broad ownership of the results.

Per 1 births Per 1 births Total First pregnancy < 39+ Urban Rural education Secondary lowest highest Per 1 births Perinatal mortality The perinatal mortality rate expressed per 1 pregnancies of seven or more months' duration, is used as an indicator of the quality of antenatal and perinatal care. Perinatal deaths include pregnancy losses of at least seven months gestation (stillbirths) and deaths to live births within the first seven days of life (early neonatal deaths).

Reasons for not seeking medical care Many barriers can prevent women from seeking medical care in general when needed. Understanding these factors is critical to improve the accessibility and utilization of medical care during pregnancy and childbirth.
