The new Global Investment Framework for Women’s and Children’s Health shows how investing in women’s and children’s health can not only generate positive outcomes in terms of health, but also advance social and economic development. Strengthening health care systems through investments to expand immunization coverage, family planning services, and the treatment of HIV/AIDS and malaria has improved women’s and children’s access to health care.
Using simulation models, Global Investment Framework researchers have estimated that increasing health expenditure by just five U.S. dollars per person per year up to 2035 could yield up to nine times that value in economic and social gains, including a drop in maternal and infant mortality rates.
