Abstract
The Safe Motherhood Initiative has successfully stimulated much interest in reducing maternal mortality. To accelerate programme implementation, this paper reviews lessons learned from the experience of industrial countries and from demonstration projects in developing countries, and proposes intervention strategies of policy dialogue, improved services and behavioural change. A typological approach with three hypothetical settings from resource poor to resource rich environments is used to address the variability in health behaviours and infrastructure encountered when programming for safe motherhood.Keywords: Community Health Services; Delivery Of Health Care; Demographic Factors; Family And Household; Family Characteristics; Family Relationships; Health; Health Services; Health Services Evaluation; International Agencies; Maternal Health; Maternal Health Services; Maternal Mortality; Maternal-child Health Services; Mortality; Mothers; Organization And Administration; Organizations; Parents; Population; Population Dynamics; Primary Health Care; Program Design; Program Evaluation; Programs; Quality Of Health Care; Recommendations; Un; World
