The maternal mortality ratio in Pakistan remains high at between 350 and 500 per 100,000 live births, while the neonatal mortality ratio is 50 per 1000 live births. This paper examines the trends in maternal and neonatal mortality in Pakistan and looks at why slow progress has been made in attempts to achieve safe motherhood. Despite numerous initiatives, it is uncertain whether Pakistan will achieve Millennium Development Goals 4 and 5 by 2015.
巴基斯坦的孕产妇死亡率仍然很高，每10万例活产中有350至500例死亡，而新生儿死亡率为每1000例活产中有50例死亡。本文研究了巴基斯坦孕产妇和新生儿死亡率的趋势，并探讨了在实现安全孕产方面进展缓慢的原因。尽管采取了许多举措，但巴基斯坦能否在2015年前实现千年发展目标4和5仍不确定。
