The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Health Research Program seeks to identify, develop, test, and facilitate the introduction of new or refined tools, technologies, approaches, policies, and interventions intended to accelerate improvements in the health status of infants, children, mothers, and families in low- and middle-income countries.

The 2018 Acting on the Call report looks at where countries are in their journey to self-reliance for preventing child and maternal deaths and includes the return on USAID’s investment to address select health bottlenecks.
