Summary of status and trends
With only five years remaining to 2015, there are signs of
progress in many countries in achieving the
health-related Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). In other
countries, progress has been limited
because of conflict, poor governance, economic or humanitarian
crises, and lack of resources. The

effects of the global food, energy, financial and economic crises
on health are still unfolding, and action
is needed to protect the health spending of governments and
donors alike.
Undernutrition is an underlying cause in about one third of all
child deaths. Over the past year,
rising food prices coupled with falling incomes have increased
the risk of malnutrition, especially
among children. Although the percentage of children under 5
years of age who are underweight
(compared to the WHO Child Growth Standards3) declined
globally from 25% in 1990 to 18% in
2005, subsequent progress has been uneven. In some countries,
the prevalence of undernutrition has
increased, and worldwide stunted growth still affected about
186 million children under 5 years of age
in 2005.
Globally, child mortality continues to fall. In 2008, the total
annual number of deaths in children
under 5 years old fell to 8.8 million – down by 30% from the
12.4 million estimated in 1990.
Mortality in children under 5 years old in 2008 was estimated at
65 per 1000 live births, which is
a 27% reduction from 90 per 1000 live births in 1990 (Figure
1). Recent encouraging trends also
indicate an acceleration of the rate of decline in all regions
since 2000 (Table 1).

children under 5 years old –

Despite these encouraging trends, regional and national
averages mask considerable inequities.
The greatest reductions in child mortality have been recorded
among the wealthiest households and
in urban areas. Concerted efforts will be needed to achieve the
MDG target of a 67% reduction from
1990 levels by the year 2015, especially in countries facing
economic crises or conflicts. Low-income
countries would need to increase their annual average rate of
decline from 1.9% to 10.9% in order to
achieve the target. Reducing child mortality increasingly
depends upon tackling neonatal mortality;
globally about 40% of deaths in children under 5 years old are
estimated to occur in the first month of
life; most in the first week.

There have been increases in the coverage of relatively new
child health interventions, such as the
use of insecticide-treated nets to prevent malaria; efforts to
prevent the mother-to-child transmission
of HIV; and vaccination against hepatitis B and Haemophilus
influenzae type B pneumonia.
Gradual progress can also be recorded for several established
interventions such as micronutrient
supplementation, while the global coverage of measles
immunization increased from 73% to 83%
between 1990 and 2008 (Figure 2).

Despite these gains, the coverage of critical interventions such
as oral rehydration therapy (ORT)
for diarrhoea and case management with antibiotics for acute
respiratory infections (ARIs) remains
inadequate. As a result, diarrhoea and pneumonia still kill
almost 3 million children under 5 years old
each year, especially in low-income countries.
According to estimates made for the year 2005,4 half a million
women – most of them in
developing countries – die each year of complications during
pregnancy or childbirth. The risk of
death was highest in the WHO African Region, where there
were 900 maternal deaths per 100 000
live births; compared with only 27 per 100 000 in the WHO
European Region. In fact, half of all
maternal deaths occurred in the WHO African Region and
another third in the WHO South-East
Asia Region. Further analysis of the estimates indicated that
between 1990 and 2005, no WHO
region achieved the 5.5% annual decline in maternal mortality
necessary to attain the relevant MDG
target.5 The WHO South-East Asia Region, the WHO European
Region and the WHO Western
Pacific Region showed annual declines of only around 2.4%.

There appeared to be stagnation or
even a possible worsening of the situation in both the WHO
African Region and the WHO Eastern
Mediterranean Region. Maternal mortality is the health
indicator that shows the widest gaps between
richer and poorer, both between and within countries.

and 2015, the maternal mortality ratio.

Interventions to reduce the levels of maternal mortality include
ensuring that all pregnant women
have access to family-planning services as well as skilled care
during pregnancy, childbirth and the
postpartum period. This includes emergency obstetric care for
the management of complications.
The proportion of births attended by a skilled health worker has
increased globally, with particularly
pronounced improvements in the WHO Eastern Mediterranean
Region (Figure 3). However, there
was no improvement at all in the WHO African Region. In both
the WHO African Region and the
WHO South-East Asia Region, less than 50% of women
received skilled care during childbirth.

Antenatal care offers multiple opportunities to improve the
health of women. Potential
improvements include the prevention and management of HIV
infection and malaria, the detection
and management of eclampsia, and iron and folate
supplementation – the latter being particularly
important in low-income and middle-income countries where
micronutrient deficiencies are common.
Despite this, less than half of all pregnant women in the world
receive the WHO-recommended
minimum of four antenatal visits.
Contraceptive prevalence6 in developing countries increased
from 50% in 1990 to 62% in
2005.7 Despite this, there remains a continuing unmet need for

family planning. For example, data
available during 2000–2008 indicates that in the WHO African
Region 24% of women wanting to
delay or stop childbearing were not using a family-planning
method. Levels of adolescent fertility
over the period of 2000–2007 were at 47 births per 1000 women
aged 15–19 years globally, and were

particularly high in the WHO African Region at 118 births for
every 1000 adolescent girls – about ten
times the average in the WHO Western Pacific Region. Factors
that contribute to continuing unmet
need for family planning include a lack of decision-making
power among women and a shortage of
appropriate health services, especially for adolescent girls.
In 2008, there were an estimated 243 million cases of malaria
causing 863 000 deaths; mostly of
children under 5 years old.8 Despite increases in the supply of
insecticide-treated nets, their availability
in that year was far below the level of need almost everywhere.
The procurement of antimalarial
medicines through public health services increased, but access

to treatment (especially artemisinin-
based combination therapy) was inadequate in all countries
surveyed in 2007 and 2008. There are,
however, indications8 that 9 African countries and 29 countries
outside Africa are on course to meet
the MDG target9 for reducing the malaria burden.
Latest estimates indicate that the incidence rate of tuberculosis
(TB) continued to slowly decline,
reaching an estimated 140 per 100 000 population in 2008. The
prevalence of all TB cases is falling
along with mortality rates among HIV-negative TB cases.
Globally, the estimated case-detection rate10
for new smear-positive TB cases increased from 40% in 2000 to
62% in 2008. While there were some
improvements in the WHO African Region, less than 50% of TB
cases were reported in this region in
2008.
Data on treatment-success rates for new smear-positive TB
cases indicate consistent improvements
with the global rate rising from 69% in 2000 to 86% in 2007
(Figure 4). In the WHO South-East
Asia Region, the rate increased from 50% in 2000 to 88% in
2007. In the WHO European Region,
while case-detection rate for new smear-positive cases
increased, treatment success remains low at 67%
in 2007, partly attributable to a high burden of multidrug-
resistant TB. Multidrug-resistant TB and
HIV-associated TB pose considerable challenges. Globally,
there were an estimated 0.5 million new
cases of multidrug-resistant TB in 2007, with 27 countries
accounting for 85% of the total.11
New HIV infections have been reduced by 16% globally
between 2000 and 2008, due, at least

in part, to successful HIV-prevention efforts. In 2008, it was
estimated that 2.7 million people were
newly infected with HIV (Figure 5) and there were 2 million
HIV/AIDS-related deaths.12
The availability and coverage of priority health-sector
interventions for HIV prevention, treatment
and care have continued to expand. In 2008, of the 1.4 million
HIV-positive pregnant women, more
than 628 000 received antiretroviral therapy (ART) to prevent
the transmission of HIV to their
children. This represents a coverage of 45% – an increase of
10% compared with 2007.13 There are,
however, striking regional variations. In the WHO African
Region (where HIV prevalence among
adults was the highest) only 45% of pregnant women in need in
low-income and middle-income
countries received treatment, while in the WHO European
Region (where HIV prevalence among
adults was much lower) 94% of pregnant women in need in low-
income and middle-income countries
had access to treatment.

It is estimated that by the end of 2008, more than 4 million
people in low-income and middle-
income countries were receiving ART – an increase of more
than 1 million compared with the end
of 2007. This represents a 10-fold expansion in five years, with
the greatest growth occurring in sub-
Saharan Africa. Nonetheless, more than 5 million of the
estimated 9.5 million people in low-income
and middle-income countries needing ART were still without
access to treatment.13 Coverage was
lowest in the WHO Eastern Mediterranean Region (where only
one in every 10 people needing ART
received it) and highest in the WHO Region of the Americas
(where one out of two who needed
therapy received it).
More than 1000 million people are affected by neglected
tropical diseases. In 2008, 496 million
people were treated for lymphatic filariasis out of the 695
million targeted. In 2008, only 4619 cases
of dracunculiasis were reported – in the mid-1980s the
estimated number of cases was 3.5 million. As
many as 190 130 cases of cholera were reported in 2008 – up
from 177 963 in 2007. At the beginning
of 2009, there were a reported 213 036 cases of leprosy – down
from 5.2 million in 1985.
The percentage of the world’s population using “improved”
drinking-water sources14 increased

from 77% to 87% between 1990 and 2008 (Figure 6). This rate
of improvement is sufficient to
achieve the relevant MDG target15 globally. In the WHO
African Region, however, while the
percentage increased from 50% in 1990 to 61% in 2008, it
remained well short of the 68% needed
in that year to remain on course for achieving the MDG target.
The situation in the WHO Eastern
Mediterranean Region appears to have stalled, and an annual
rate of increase of 1.6% is needed to

Although nearly all countries publish an essential medicines
list, the availability of medicines at
public-health facilities is often poor. Surveys conducted in
approximately 30 low-income countries
indicate that the availability of selected generic medicines at
health facilities was only 44% in the
public sector and 66% in the private sector. Lack of medicines
in the public sector forces patients
to purchase medicines privately. In the private sector, generic
medicines cost on average 630% more
16 See Part II, Table 5. Risk factors, footnotes 21 and 22 for a
full explanation of this term.
achieve the MDG target by 2015. In 2008, the coverage was

90% in the WHO Western Pacific
Region, and well in excess of this figure in the WHO Region of
the Americas and the WHO European
Region. In low-income countries, the annual rate of increase
needs to double in order to reach the
target, and concerted efforts are also needed to narrow the gap
in coverage between urban and rural
areas.
In 2008, 2600 million people were not using “improved”
sanitation facilities,16 and of these 1100
million were defecating in the open, resulting in high levels of
environmental contamination and
exposure to the risks of worm infestations (such as
schistosomiasis) and microbial infections (such as
trachoma, hepatitis and cholera). The situation was most severe
in the WHO African Region, where
the percentage of the population using improved sanitation
facilities increased very slowly: from 30%
in 1990 to 34% in 2008. In the WHO South-East Asia Region,
the coverage increased from 26% to
40% – still short of the MDG target. In the WHO European
Region, 6% of the population were not
using improved sanitation facilities in 2008 (Figure 7).

than their international reference price, while originator brands
are generally even more expensive.
Common treatment regimens can cost a low-paid government
worker in the developing world several
days’ wages.
Noncommunicable diseases and injuries caused an estimated 33
million deaths in developing
countries in 200417 and will account for a growing proportion
of total deaths in the future. The health
of individuals will also be undermined in the longer term by
chronic conditions, sensory and mental
disorders and violence. Tackling risk factors such as tobacco
use, unhealthy diets, physical inactivity
and the harmful use of alcohol (while also dealing with the
socioeconomic impact of cardiovascular
diseases, cancers, chronic respiratory diseases and diabetes)
will depend not only upon effective health-
care services but also upon actions taken in a variety of policy
domains. Countries need to increase

prevention efforts and improve access to services such as early
detection and trauma care. Putting in
place and sufficiently resourcing stronger health surveillance
systems will be critical. Efforts are now
under way to strengthen surveillance systems for
noncommunicable diseases, including through the
identification of core indicators and the use of standardized
methods of data collection on risk factors
and determinants, disease incidence, mortality by cause, health-
system indicators and coverage of key
interventions.
Stronger health systems will be central to continued progress
towards the achievement of the
MDGs. Continuing political momentum and sustained and
predictable funding will be needed to
strengthen human resources for health; improve service
availability and quality; provide access to
diagnosis through national laboratory networks; ensure better
infection control in clinical settings; and
promote the rational use of medicines. In addition, the financial
and economic crisis has highlighted
the urgent need to increase the coverage of social health
protection. People in need cannot access the
required services or continue treatment if financial barriers
remain high.
Better information and intelligence will also be essential in
monitoring progress towards the MDGs
and related goals and targets, particularly with regard to
differentials between and within countries.
WHO will continue to report on the most-recent estimates of
health-related statistics. However,
the quality of such reporting depends critically upon the quality
of country health information and
statistical systems – which in many settings are weak. There is

therefore a need for international
commitment to support country efforts to enhance the
availability and quality of data on the MDGs
and other indicators.

The following charts provide country-by-country and regional
summaries of progress for key MDG
indicators for which data are available for most countries. For
each indicator, countries are sorted
within the relevant WHO region by the level of the indicator at
the latest available year. Countries
with no data, or for which a particular indicator is not relevant,
are included at the end of each
regional list.
Depending on the availability of data for each indicator, there
are three types of chart:
Chart type I
For three indicators – under-five mortality rate; population
using improved drinking-water sources;
and population using improved sanitation – the charts show data
for the latest available year; trends
since 1990 (or since the first year for which data are available);
and the overall trend required for

the country to achieve the relevant MDG by 2015.
Chart type II
For five indicators – children aged <5 years underweight;
measles immunization coverage among
1-year-olds; births attended by skilled health personnel;
prevalence of HIV among adults aged 15–
49 years; and tuberculosis mortality rate among HIV-negative
people – the charts show data for the
latest available year, and country trends since the year for
which data were first available. For most
countries, data have been available since the baseline year of
1990.
Chart type III
For eleven indicators – maternal mortality ratio; contraceptive
prevalence; adolescent fertility
rate; antenatal care coverage; unmet need for family planning;
males aged 15–24 years with
comprehensive correct knowledge of HIV/AIDS; females aged
15–24 years with comprehensive
correct knowledge of HIV/AIDS; antiretroviral therapy
coverage among people with advanced HIV
infection; malaria mortality rate; children aged <5 years
sleeping under insecticide-treated nets; and
children aged <5 years with fever who received treatment with
any antimalarial – the charts show
only data for the latest available year.
Further details can be found in the country tables as indicated in
each chart.
