Lectures and seminars Open seminar on children's and women's health in a global perspective
Women and children have been considered "the underclass of the poor"... and constitute around 75% of the population in low- and middle income countries. How will the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2030 manage what the Millenium Development Goal 5a did not; to reduce the Maternal Morality Ratio (MMR) by 75%?
