High maternal and child mortality in adolescent mothers and a smaller but
significant contribution
of adolescents to total fertility brings the focus back on the need to address
adolescents as an
integral part of the strategy so as to improve maternal and child health
Problem Statement
In terms of child mortality, globally 76 lakh children died in 2010 before reaching
their fifth birthday.
India presently accounts for nearly 20% of the world’s child deaths. In terms of
numbers, it is the largest number of child deaths (approximately 15.8 lakh) under
the age of five years in any country.
Globally, an estimated 287,000 maternal deaths occurred in
2010, when the global maternal mortality ratio was 210 maternal
deaths per 100,000 live births
At At the national level, maternal mortality ratio (MMR) declined
from 254 (SRS 2005) to 212 (SRS
2007–09) – a decline of about 14 points per year on an ‘All India’
basis
