Costs and Benefits of Integrated RMNCH
2016
This chapter assesses the costs and benefits of delivering a set of integrated reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health interventions in countries with high child and maternal mortality to demonstrate that very high returns can be achieved through this investment and to underscore the importance of an accurate assessment of those returns. This includes the full range of costs involved in delivering integrated care and the full range of benefits that flow from the interventions.
This chapter is from Reproductive, Maternal, and Child Health, the second volume in the Disease Control Priorities, Third Edition (DCP3) series. The volume focuses on maternal conditions, childhood illness, and malnutrition.
