Reports and Articles

Countdown’s Reports  (published in 2005, 2008, and 2010, and 2012) discuss coverage and its major determinants,  including patterns of equity, policies, health system performance measures, and financial flows to maternal, newborn, and child health, at both the global and country levels. The central element of Countdown’s Reports is the country profile, a presentation of key health and survival statistics, coverage levels, and policy, financial, and equity indicators that Countdown has published regularly for all high burden countries.  Articles on Countdown data and analysis have also been published in The Lancet and other journals.  In addition to reports, profiles, and research articles, Countdown and its partners produce a range of publications and tools, including materials related to cross-cutting research, secondary analysis, and case studies.
