A common monitoring framework for ending preventable maternal mortality, 2015–2030: phase I of a multi-step process
While global maternal mortality declined 44 % between 1990 and 2015, the majority of countries fell
short of attaining Millennium Development Goal targets. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), adopted
in late 2015, include a target to reduce national maternal mortality ratios (MMR) to achieve a global average
of 70 per 100,000 live births by 2030. A comprehensive paper outlining Strategies toward Ending Preventable
Maternal Mortality (EPMM) was launched in February 2015 to support achievement of the SDG global targets
