dc.descriptionMaternal mortality is falling in most of the world's countries, but, for 20 years, the United States has seen no reduction. Over this period, a dozen countries in various stages of development, all spending much less than the United States on health, achieved their United Nations' Millennium Development Goal of 2015 (Millennium Development Goal 5: improve maternal health), with substantial reductions in maternal mortality rates. To consider whether interventions successful in reducing global maternal mortality rates could help the United States to lower its rate, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, at the 2018 International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics' Rio de Janeiro World Congress, convened a panel of the presidents and representatives from five national societies with wide maternal mortality rate ranges and health expenditures and whose national societies had focused on reducing maternal mortality for Millennium Development Goal 5. They identified expanded access to reproductive health care, particularly contraception and safe abortion, as key interventions that had proven effective in decreasing maternal mortality rates worldwide.
