The two targets for assessing MDG 5 are reducing the maternal mortality ratio (MMR) by three quarters between 199 and 215, and achieving universal access to reproductive health by 215.

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.

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.
