Abstract

Nepal has achieved its targets for MDGs 4 and 5a. Maternal mortality declined from 790 to an estimated 190 deaths per 100,000 live births between 1990 and 2013 an impressive 76 percent decline. Under-five mortality showed a similarly impressive decline going from 142 to 42 deaths per 1,000 births between 1990 and 2012. This Health, Nutrition, and Population (HNP) note explores the actions Nepal has taken to reduce maternal and child mortality.
