Abstract

The gap in the levels of maternal death between developed and developing countries continues to be one of the greatest global health inequities. Research conducted by Immpact, a global research initiative, also found huge inequities in the countries where it worked. Although strategies such as delivery-fee-exemption policies and village midwives have resulted in increased utilisation of services, large differences in access to and use of skilled care between rich and poor remains.
