  • Title: Declaration of Lahore of the IIIrd International Congress on Maternal and Neonatal Health.
    Journal: Malays J Reprod Health; 1987 Dec; 5(2):111-6. PubMed ID: 12315182.
    Abstract:
    Maternal and child health remains a theme of utmost importance in developing as well as in developed countries. The 3rd International Association For Maternal And Neonatal Health (IAMANEH) Congress deliberated in Lahore, Pakistan, from 7-11 November, 1987. The Congress stressed in particular that the very high maternal mortality in the developing world has not, by far, received the attention it deserves. It remains a global scandal, both technically and ethically, that the risk for a mother of dying in pregnancy, labor or postpartum in less favored regions is 100 to 200 times higher than in industrialized countries. This document contains important statements made at the congress about women's status, family planning, prenatal care, neonatal health, breastfeeding, oral rehydration therapy, diarrhea prevention, immunization, AIDS, traditional birth attendants, outreach work, and education.
