The health problems of women in developing countries remain far too low on the international community's list of priorities. Progress can be made toward decreasing maternal mortality in resource-poor countries without sizable new research efforts. Strategies include improving access to emergency obstetric care and family-planning services. Reducing maternal mortality rates by 75% is one of the key Millenium Development Goals. Making women's health a priority will improve the outlook for women in the developing world.
