Table 7. Results of the scenario analysis for projected deaths averted and potential life years gained by family planning.
Deaths averted | CPR increases by 0.1% | |
---|---|---|
Deaths averted | Potential life years gained | |
Maternal deaths | 300 | 8 100 |
Child deaths (0–69 months) | 4 500 | 270 000 |
Neonatal deaths | 1 300 | 78 000 |
All essential maternal and child health interventions are scaled up to 99% coverage. Potential life years gained = total deaths multiplied by life expectancy (27 years for mothers and 60 years for neonates and children). CPR = Contraceptive prevalence rate. Figures rounded to the nearest 100.
