India’s National Rural Health Mission has adopted such an approach, using region-specific data to identify low-quality prenatal care,&#160;unsafe deliveries, and lack of access to birth control as high-priority issues in 18 states. The measures that the mission has implemented since 2005 – including free contraception, pregnancy tracking, prenatal care, compensation for hospital delivery, and regular home visits to new mothers – contributed to a 20% drop in fertility rates in the targeted states by 2010, and helped to reduce maternal and infant deaths.
印度的国家农村卫生计划就采取了这样的方法，使用具体的地区数据，将低质量产前护理、不安全分娩和缺少生育控制手段作为18个邦的高度紧迫问题。该计划2005年以来采用的措施——包括免费避孕、怀孕跟踪、产前护理、医院分娩补贴和新妈妈定期家访——让目标邦的2010年出生率降低了20%，也降低了产妇和婴儿死亡。
