Findings on maternal <span class="attribute-to-highlight medbox">and</span> child health in Nepal, Mozambique <span class="attribute-to-highlight medbox">and</span>
Rwanda, <span class="attribute-to-highlight medbox">and</span> neglected tropical diseases in Cambodia <span class="attribute-to-highlight medbox">and</span> Sierra Leone | This report synthesises findings from five country case studies from the health dimension of this project, which focus on maternal <span class="attribute-to-highlight medbox">and</span> child health (MCH) (Mozambique,Nepal, Rwanda) <span class="attribute-to-highlight medbox">and</span> neglected tropical diseases (NTDs)(Cambodia, Sierra Leone). MCH was selected given its centrality in two of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) <span class="attribute-to-highlight medbox">and</span> its ability to act as <span class="attribute-to-highlight medbox">a</span> proxy for strengthened health systems. NTDs, while until recently relatively neglected in global policy debates, are now attracting more interest, not least because they are viewed as diseases of the poor whose treatment could positively impact on most of the other MDGs.
