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.
