description: | Throughout the 1960s, continued investments in women's education, health, and rural development resulted in a dramatic 65% reduction in maternal mortality, from 240 in 1960, to 105 per 100 000 livebirths in 1970.3 Home deliveries fell from 80% to 60%, and the number of trained midwives increased.3 Despite these improvements, mainly in urban areas, low-income, rural women did not see much benefit. Malaysia was able to change its national state of maternal health by expanding access to deliveries attended by trained skilled personnel; providing mothers with necessary medicines, equipment, and support; and ensuring the availability of emergency obstetric care at district hospitals. |
