Despite these encouraging trends, regional and national averages mask considerable inequities. The greatest reductions in child mortality have been recorded among the wealthiest households and in urban areas. Concerted efforts will be needed to achieve the MDG target of a 67% reduction from 1990 levels by the year 2015, especially in countries facing economic crises or conflicts. Low-income countries would need to increase their annual average rate of decline from 1.9% to 10.9% in order to achieve the target. Reducing child mortality increasingly depends upon tackling neonatal mortality; globally about 40% of deaths in children under 5 years old are estimated to occur in the first month of life; most in the first week.
There have been increases in the coverage of relatively new child health interventions, such as the use of insecticide-treated nets to prevent malaria; efforts to prevent the mother-to-child transmission of HIV; and vaccination against hepatitis B and Haemophilus influenzae type B pneumonia. Gradual progress can also be recorded for several established interventions such as micronutrient supplementation, while the global coverage of measles immunization increased from 73% to 83% between 1990 and 2008 (Figure 2).

Despite these gains, the coverage of critical interventions such as oral rehydration therapy (ORT) for diarrhoea and case management with antibiotics for acute respiratory infections (ARIs) remains inadequate. As a result, diarrhoea and pneumonia still kill almost 3 million children under 5 years old each year, especially in low-income countries. According to estimates made for the year 2005,4 half a million women most of them in developing countries die each year of complications during pregnancy or childbirth. The risk of death was highest in the WHO African Region, where there were 900 maternal deaths per 100 000 live births; compared with only 27 per 100 000 in the WHO European Region. In fact, half of all maternal deaths occurred in the WHO African Region and another third in the WHO South-East Asia Region. Further analysis of the estimates indicated that between 1990 and 2005, no WHO region achieved the 5.5% annual decline in maternal mortality necessary to attain the relevant MDG target.5 The WHO South-East Asia Region, the WHO European Region and the WHO Western Pacific Region showed annual declines of only around 2.4%. There appeared to be stagnation or even a possible worsening of the situation in both the WHO African Region and the WHO Eastern Mediterranean Region. Maternal mortality is the health indicator that shows the widest gaps between richer and poorer, both between and within countries.

Interventions to reduce the levels of maternal mortality include ensuring that all pregnant women have access to family-planning services as well as skilled care during pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period. This includes emergency obstetric care for the management of complications. The proportion of births attended by a skilled health worker has increased globally, with particularly pronounced improvements in the WHO Eastern Mediterranean Region (Figure 3). However, there was no improvement at all in the WHO African Region. In both the WHO African Region and the WHO South-East Asia Region, less than 50% of women received skilled care during childbirth.

Antenatal care offers multiple opportunities to improve the health of women. Potential improvements include the prevention and management of HIV infection and malaria, the detection and management of eclampsia, and iron and folate supplementation the latter being particularly important in low-income and middle-income countries where micronutrient deficiencies are common. Despite this, less than half of all pregnant women in the world receive the WHO-recommended minimum of four antenatal visits. Contraceptive prevalence6 in developing countries increased from 50% in 1990 to 62% in 2005.7 Despite this, there remains a continuing unmet need for family planning. For example, data available during 20002008 indicates that in the WHO African Region 24% of women wanting to delay or stop childbearing were not using a family-planning method. Levels of adolescent fertility over the period of 20002007 were at 47 births per 1000 women aged 1519 years globally, and were

particularly high in the WHO African Region at 118 births for every 1000 adolescent girls about ten times the average in the WHO Western Pacific Region. Factors that contribute to continuing unmet need for family planning include a lack of decision-making power among women and a shortage of appropriate health services, especially for adolescent girls. In 2008, there were an estimated 243 million cases of malaria causing 863 000 deaths; mostly of children under 5 years old.8 Despite increases in the supply of insecticide-treated nets, their availability in that year was far below the level of need almost everywhere. The procurement of antimalarial medicines through public health services increased, but access to treatment (especially artemisininbased combination therapy) was inadequate in all countries surveyed in 2007 and 2008. There are, however, indications8 that 9 African countries and 29 countries outside Africa are on course to meet the MDG target9 for reducing the malaria burden. Latest estimates indicate that the incidence rate of tuberculosis (TB) continued to slowly decline, reaching an estimated 140 per 100 000 population in 2008. The prevalence of all TB cases is falling along with mortality rates among HIV-negative TB cases. Globally, the estimated case-detection rate10 for new smear-positive TB cases increased from 40% in 2000 to 62% in 2008. While there were some improvements in the WHO African Region, less than 50% of TB cases were reported in this region in 2008. Data on treatment-success rates for new smear-positive TB cases indicate consistent improvements with the global rate rising from 69% in 2000 to 86% in 2007 (Figure 4). In the WHO South-East Asia Region, the rate increased from 50% in 2000 to 88% in 2007. In the WHO European Region, while case-detection rate for new smear-positive cases increased, treatment success remains low at 67% in 2007, partly attributable to a high burden of multidrug-resistant TB. Multidrug-resistant TB and HIV-associated TB pose considerable challenges. Globally, there were an estimated 0.5 million new cases of multidrug-resistant TB in 2007, with 27 countries accounting for 85% of the total.11 New HIV infections have been reduced by 16% globally between 2000 and 2008, due, at least in part, to successful HIV-prevention efforts. In 2008, it was estimated that 2.7 million people were newly infected with HIV (Figure 5) and there were 2 million HIV/AIDS-related deaths.12 The availability and coverage of priority health-sector interventions for HIV prevention, treatment and care have continued to expand. In 2008, of the 1.4 million HIV-positive pregnant women, more than 628 000 received antiretroviral therapy (ART) to prevent the transmission of HIV to their children. This represents a coverage of 45% an increase of 10% compared with 2007.13 There are, however, striking regional variations. In the WHO African Region (where HIV prevalence among adults was the highest) only 45% of pregnant women in need in low-income and middle-income countries received treatment, while in the WHO European Region (where HIV prevalence among adults was much lower) 94% of pregnant women in need in low-income and middle-income countries had access to treatment.

It is estimated that by the end of 2008, more than 4 million people in low-income and middleincome countries were receiving ART an increase of more than 1 million compared with the end of 2007. This represents a 10-fold expansion in five years, with the greatest growth occurring in subSaharan Africa. Nonetheless, more than 5 million of the estimated 9.5 million people in low-income and middle-income countries needing ART were still without access to treatment.13 Coverage was lowest in the WHO Eastern Mediterranean Region (where only one in every 10 people needing ART received it) and highest in the WHO Region of the Americas (where one out of two who needed therapy received it). More than 1000 million people are affected by neglected tropical diseases. In 2008, 496 million people were treated for lymphatic filariasis out of the 695 million targeted. In 2008, only 4619 cases of dracunculiasis were reported in the mid-1980s the estimated number of cases was 3.5 million. As many as 190 130 cases of cholera were reported in 2008 up from 177 963 in 2007. At the beginning of 2009, there were a reported 213 036 cases of leprosy down from 5.2 million in 1985. The percentage of the worlds population using improved drinking-water sources14 increased from 77% to 87% between 1990 and 2008 (Figure 6). This rate of improvement is sufficient to achieve the relevant MDG target15 globally. In the WHO African Region, however, while the percentage increased from 50% in 1990 to 61% in 2008, it remained well short of the 68% needed in that year to remain on course for achieving the MDG target. The situation in the WHO Eastern Mediterranean Region appears to have stalled, and an annual rate of increase of 1.6% is needed to

achieve the MDG target by 2015. In 2008, the coverage was 90% in the WHO Western Pacific Region, and well in excess of this figure in the WHO Region of the Americas and the WHO European Region. In low-income countries, the annual rate of increase needs to double in order to reach the target, and concerted efforts are also needed to narrow the gap in coverage between urban and rural areas. In 2008, 2600 million people were not using improved sanitation facilities,16 and of these 1100 million were defecating in the open, resulting in high levels of environmental contamination and exposure to the risks of worm infestations (such as schistosomiasis) and microbial infections (such as trachoma, hepatitis and cholera). The situation was most severe in the WHO African Region, where the percentage of the population using improved sanitation facilities increased very slowly: from 30% in 1990 to 34% in 2008. In the WHO South-East Asia Region, the coverage increased from 26% to 40% still short of the MDG target. In the WHO European Region, 6% of the population were not using improved sanitation facilities in 2008 (Figure 7).

Although nearly all countries publish an essential medicines list, the availability of medicines at public-health facilities is often poor. Surveys conducted in approximately 30 low-income countries indicate that the availability of selected generic medicines at health facilities was only 44% in the public sector and 66% in the private sector. Lack of medicines in the public sector forces patients to purchase medicines privately. In the private sector, generic medicines cost on average 630% more

than their international reference price, while originator brands are generally even more expensive. Common treatment regimens can cost a low-paid government worker in the developing world several days wages. Noncommunicable diseases and injuries caused an estimated 33 million deaths in developing countries in 200417 and will account for a growing proportion of total deaths in the future. The health of individuals will also be undermined in the longer term by chronic conditions, sensory and mental disorders and violence. Tackling risk factors such as tobacco use, unhealthy diets, physical inactivity and the harmful use of alcohol (while also dealing with the socioeconomic impact of cardiovascular diseases, cancers, chronic respiratory diseases and diabetes) will depend not only upon effective healthcare services but also upon actions taken in a variety of policy domains. Countries need to increase prevention efforts and improve access to services such as early detection and trauma care. Putting in place and sufficiently resourcing stronger health surveillance systems will be critical. Efforts are now under way to strengthen surveillance systems for noncommunicable diseases, including through the identification of core indicators and the use of standardized methods of data collection on risk factors and determinants, disease incidence, mortality by cause, health-system indicators and coverage of key interventions. Stronger health systems will be central to continued progress towards the achievement of the MDGs. Continuing political momentum and sustained and predictable funding will be needed to strengthen human resources for health; improve service availability and quality; provide access to diagnosis through national laboratory networks; ensure better infection control in clinical settings; and promote the rational use of medicines. In addition, the financial and economic crisis has highlighted the urgent need to increase the coverage of social health protection. People in need cannot access the required services or continue treatment if financial barriers remain high. Better information and intelligence will also be essential in monitoring progress towards the MDGs and related goals and targets, particularly with regard to differentials between and within countries. WHO will continue to report on the most-recent estimates of health-related statistics. However, the quality of such reporting depends critically upon the quality of country health information and statistical systems which in many settings are weak. There is therefore a need for international commitment to support country efforts to enhance the availability and quality of data on the MDGs and other indicators.

The following charts provide country-by-country and regional summaries of progress for key MDG indicators for which data are available for most countries. For each indicator, countries are sorted within the relevant WHO region by the level of the indicator at the latest available year. Countries with no data, or for which a particular indicator is not relevant, are included at the end of each regional list. Depending on the availability of data for each indicator, there are three types of chart:
Chart type I
For three indicators under-five mortality rate; population using improved drinking-water sources; and population using improved sanitation the charts show data for the latest available year; trends since 1990 (or since the first year for which data are available); and the overall trend required for the country to achieve the relevant MDG by 2015.
Chart type II
For five indicators children aged <5 years underweight; measles immunization coverage among 1-year-olds; births attended by skilled health personnel; prevalence of HIV among adults aged 15 49 years; and tuberculosis mortality rate among HIV-negative people the charts show data for the latest available year, and country trends since the year for which data were first available. For most countries, data have been available since the baseline year of 1990.
