Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The difference between maternal mortality in the industrialized and developing world is greater than any other development indicator. The apparent lack of progress in this area has generated a sense of hopelessness. Malaysia and Sri Lanka are two of the very few developing countries that have succeeded in reducing maternal mortality to levels comparable to many industrialized countries. This study provides a comprehensive, in-depth analysis of the factors that contributed to maternal mortality decline in Malaysia and Sri Lanka over the last 50 to 60 years. It considers policy issues, health system developments, health system expenditures in maternal health, and the use in both countries of professionally trained midwives.
