Nepal has made a remarkable progress in
achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs),
especially in extreme poverty and education. Nepal has
achieved MDG 5 but only one in three births is attended by
skilled medical personnel. Disparities exist in access to
maternal care by residence and wealth quintiles. The total
fertility rate has declined to 2.4 in 2012, along with
increased contraceptive use at 50 percent. High unmet need
of 27 percent still remains. Nutritional deficiencies for
pregnant and lactating women remain a challenge. Nepal has
initiated a number of key interventions to respond to
increased adolescents needs for health services, improve
accessibility and quality of services at local level, and
enhance equitable access to services through micro-planning
exercise and provision of financial protection. |
