Impact of health intervention coverage on reducing maternal mortality in 126 low- and middle-income countries: a Lives Saved Tool modelling study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There is a continued and urgent need to address the stagnation of the global maternal mortality ratio (MMR), especially for low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). We aimed to assess the impact of scaling up health intervention coverage on reducing MMR under four scenarios for 126 LMICs.

Methods

We conducted the modelling study to estimate MMR and additional maternal lives saved by intervention by 2030 for 126 LMICs using the Lives Saved Tool (LiST). We applied four scenarios to assess the impact of scaling up health intervention coverage with no scale-up (no change), a modest scale-up (increased by 2% per year), a substantial scale-up (increased by 5% per year), and universal coverage (coverage reached 95% by 2030). In sensitivity analysis, with the current tre
