Globally, progress in improving the survival and well-being of mothers has been slow, and this holds true for the Eastern Mediterranean Region. Thus at the current pace, it is unlikely that the Millennium Development Goal related improving maternal health will be achieved in the Region by the year 2015. This paper outlines the factors contributing to maternal mortality and poor health in the Region and the challenges faced. The action needed to redress the situation and improve maternal health, and hence achieve the fourth Millennium Development Goal, is presented.
在全球范围内，提高母亲生存率和福祉方面的进展一直缓慢，东地中海区域也是如此。因此，按照目前的速度，该区域不太可能在2015年实现与改善孕产妇健康相关的千年发展目标。本文概述了该区域孕产妇死亡和健康状况不佳的影响因素以及所面临的挑战。文中还提出了扭转这种局面并改善孕产妇健康从而实现第四个千年发展目标所需采取的行动。
