The region is also performing better than the rest of the developing world in relation to child mortality, having achieved more than 70 percent of the progress needed to reduce under-five mortality by two-thirds. However LAC still faces serious challenges regarding maternal mortality, achieving good public and individual health and alleviating poverty. For LAC, the MDGs are a historic opportunity to address all forms of inequality and attain the political will needed to achieve these goals. 2013-02-20T15:18:04Z 2013-02-20T15:18:04Z 2012-06 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2012/06/16750701/mdgs-4-5-maternal-child-healthreproductive-health-lac http://hdl.handle.net/10986/12418 English en_US En breve;no. 177 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Brief Publications & Research Latin America & Caribbean Caribbean Latin America
