How do the MDGs address maternal mortality?

The MDGs address maternal mortality by setting a specific target to reduce the maternal mortality ratio by three-quarters between 1990 and 2015. This target aims to improve access to reproductive healthcare services, including skilled birth attendance, emergency obstetric care, and family planning. Additionally, the MDGs focus on increasing the availability and affordability of essential medicines and technologies for maternal health. Efforts are also made to strengthen health systems, improve data collection and monitoring, and promote gender equality and women's empowerment to address the underlying causes of maternal mortality.
