Access to contraceptives is reducing maternal deaths
Progress in reducing maternal deaths stems largely from declining fertility rates, helped by greater access to contraceptives. Yet almost one in four women in Africa who wish to space or delay their next pregnancy cannot do so because of lack of access to contraceptives, failure to empower women to use contraceptives and a mismatch between the types of contraceptives desired and those provided.
