Maternal, newborn health and poverty

This series is a joint product of three Geneva-based WHO Departments: Making Pregnancy Safer; Reproductive Health and Research; and Health Policy, Development and Services. It aims to provide, through peer-reviewed papers, the latest evidence and thinking on key issues that are important for making progress towards the goal of universal coverage for essential health-care interventions. Issues related to the health and coverage of the poor are a special focus of the series, as are the implication of universal coverage for health-care programmes and systems.  See papers
