They found that in 2015, pregnancy and birth complications resulted in the deaths of more than five million children and 300,000 women, 95 percent of the global population’s maternal and child deaths.
 
The researchers focused on expanding access to specific basic care services, which would not only save the millions of lives lost, but cost roughly $4.70 per patient per year to do so.

Black’s team created three health care packages that contain conditions and services relative to reproductive health, maternal health, newborn and child health and nutrition.
