Investing in Development A Practical Plan to Achieve the Millennium Development Goals
This book presents the findings & recommendations of the UN Millennium Project to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). It describes the importance of the MDGs and gives an explanation of the progress. The book provides recommendations to be implemented at the country level
Maternal Mortality in Resource-Poor Settings
Maternal mortality remains one of the most daunting public health problems in resource-poor settings, and reductions in maternal mortality have been identified as a prominent component of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals. The World Health Organization estimates that 515000 women die each year from pregnancy-related causes, and almost all of these deaths occur in developing countries. Evidence has shown that access to and utilizatio…
Focus on Women
Despite important advances in expanding access to antiretroviral therapy in the countries most heavily affected by HIV/AIDS, there has been little consideration of the connections between HIV prevention, care and treatment programmes and reproductive health services. In this paper, we explore the integration of reproductive health services into HIV care and treatment programmes. We review the design and progress of the MTCT-Plus Initiative, which…
September 11
The horrific terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and 4 commercial airliners have seared unspeakable images into our memories. In the wake of the attacks, various sectors of our society—including public health professionals, academics, and community workers—have been reexamining their preparedness for future assaults. Now, more than ever, there is an urgent need to strengthen the US public health infrastructure. The initial …
The Safe Motherhood Initiative
Complications of pregnancy and childbirth are still the leading cause of death and disability among women of reproductive age in developing countries. After decades of neglect, the founding of the Safe Motherhood Initiative in 1987 promised action on this problem. A dozen years later, there is no evidence that maternal mortality has declined and there are still few sizeable programs. A major reason for this disappointing record is that the initia…

Maternal Mortality-a Neglected Tragedy
Depo-Provera
This writer agrees with Carol Levine that the issue involving depo-provera is both complex and confusing. Comment is offered on some of the conclusions reached by Levine in her article, "Depo-Provera and Contraceptive Risk: A Case Study of Values and Conflicts". In the discussion of risks and benefits, problems with administration of estrogens are rarely recommended for depo-provera users. The metabolic side-effects which are identified are also …
A Perspective on Adolescent Fertility in Developing Countries
While the best data at present indicate that adolescent fertility is declining in the developing world, it is still very high relative to the developed world. Access by teenage women to family planning information does not seem to be restricted (except in the cases of abortion and sterilization), if only because much of adolescent fertility takes place in marriages or other sanctioned unions, nor is there much evidence that they are proportionall…
The Ethics of Supervising Family Planning in Developing Nations
Western-style medicine based on specialists and hospitals is called inappropriate for developing countries and even inappropriate for the poor in the U.S. This physician-dominated health care is beginning to develop roles for auxiliary medical personnel in both curative and preventive care roles which might be applied in developing countries. Some have even called the Western system highly immoral because it focuses resources on the diseases whic…

National health services and family planning
The family planning program of Thailand was organized, planned, and implemented by means of the rural health and hospital services of the Ministry of Public Health. Without this integration, the program would not have been allowed by the government. The Thai health system was reasonably well-established, the use of its personnel lessened cost and duplication of efforts, and the resulting integration was successful. The program operated very quiet…

Family Planning Programs
In recent years, countries throughout the world have become increasingly concerned about problems related to the high rates of population growth. As a result, during the past decade, 24 countries have announced official national population policies aimed at fertility reduction, and an additional 23 countries have begun, unofficially, to support population activities (1-3). Given the pre-existing generally pronatalist concepts, these actions const…
Person-to-Person Communication in Thailand
The success of the family planning program in Thailand since 1964 is reviewed to establish the effectiveness of word-of-mouth communication in recruiting acceptors since government restrictions prevented public information activities until 1970. Efforts such as a pilot project in Potharam district (a rural area of 35000 people) in 1964 revealed that through group meetings pamphlets and posters the percentage of eligible women who knew about moder…

An IUD Follow-up Study in Potharam, Thailand
A follow-up study in June 1969 of IUD use in 902 patients located out of 1161 women who received IUDs between 1964-June 30 1966 revealed that 41.8% still had the IUD; 51.4% were using a contraceptive of some type; and 43.5% had had 1 or more pregnancies. Pregnancy rate was less than half that expected. Due perhaps in part to government restrictions preventing advertising only 11.8% were using the pill. Of those practicing contraception 80.4% reco…

Thailand
Thailands family planning program administered through the Ministry of Public Health between 1968 and 1970 was initiated without official government approval or public information campaign but simply added to the health service clinics. 412958 acceptors participated in the program over the 3 years receiving oral contraceptives and intrauterine devices and showed a continuation rate of over 70% at 12 months. Clinic records showed that most of the …

Thailand
A 3-day population seminar for members of the press radio and television was held in Chiengma in Northern Thailand in May 1969. From the viewpoint of public communications this was Thailands most successful seminar on the population problem. Before this seminar there had never been a seminar in Thailand arranged specifically for members of the press radio or television. The objective of this seminar was to approach directly the media personnel in…
