Objectives of 2009 studyEstimate the costs and benefits of providing family planning and maternal and newborn health care to women in developing countries who are in need of these services.
Provide data to help decision makers focus resources on health care interventions with the greatest returns for individuals and societies.

Key Findings
• cut maternal deaths by more than two-thirds;
• reduce newborn deaths by more than half; and
• generate a range of other benefits, such as reducing poverty and helping countries achieve economic development goals.
Investing in family planning would reduce maternal and newborn health care costs.
Simultaneously meeting the needs for family planning services and maternal and newborn health care in the developing world would

Globally, unintended pregnancy rates have decreased because contraceptive use has increased
But 215 million women in the developing world have an unmet need for modern contraception

More progress is needed in maternal and newborn care
60 million make too few or no antenatal visits
55 million do not deliver in a health facility
21 million have obstetric complications that go untreated
Of the 123 million women giving birth each year…
= 10 million

Unsafe abortion and its consequences are all too common
20 million women have unsafe abortions each year
8.5 million experience complications that require medical treatment
3 million of these women do not get the care they need
= 10 million

…and saves more lives than either intervention alone.
Bottom line: Dual investment (MNH + FP) is the most cost-effective strategy…
The total cost of providing both services is $24.6 billion. This is $1.5 billion less than providing maternal and newborn care alone, savings that result from preventing unintended births
