Posted by Share-Net NL on March 9, 2015 at 9:25 am



The Maternal Health Task Force is pleased to share a new addition to the Women and Health Initiative Working Paper series: Critical Maternal Health Knowledge Gaps in Low- and Middle-Income Countries for Post-2015: Researchers’ Perspectives.

This paper, the result of consultations with international maternal health experts, proposes an agenda for the next decade of maternal health research.

Priorities were identified in three broad areas:

  1. persistent and critical knowledge gaps that need to be filled to accelerate reductions in maternal mortality and morbidity in low-and middle income countries;
  2. crucial maternal health issues that have not been given adequate attention by research and donor communities; and
  3. new situations and emerging challenges that require research to improve maternal health outcomes.
