IntroductionConflict adversely impacts health and health systems, yet its effect on health inequalities, particularly for women and children, has not been systematically studied. We examined wealth, education and urban/rural residence inequalities for child mortality and essential reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health interventions between conflict and non-conflict low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs).MethodsWe carried out a time-series multicountry ecological study using data for 137 LMICs between 1990 and 2017, as defined by the 2019 World Bank classification. The data set covers approximately 3.8 million surveyed mothers (15–49 years) and 1.1 million children under 5 years including newborns (<1 month), young children (1–59 months) and school-aged children and adolescents (5–14 years). Outcomes include annual maternal and child mortality rates and coverage (%) of family planning services, 1+antenatal care visit, skilled attendant at birth (SBA), exclusive breast feeding (0–5 months), early initiation of breast feeding (within 1 hour), neonatal protection against tetanus, newborn postnatal care within 2 days, 3 doses of diphtheria, pertussis and tetanus vaccine, measles vaccination, and careseeking for pneumonia and diarrhoea.ResultsConflict countries had consistently higher maternal and child mortality rates than non-conflict countries since 1990 and these gaps persist despite rates continually declining for both groups. Access to essential reproductive and maternal health services for poorer, less educated and rural-based families was several folds worse in conflict versus non-conflict countries.ConclusionsInequalities in coverage of reproductive/maternal health and child vaccine interventions are significantly worse in conflict-affected countries. Efforts to protect maternal and child health interventions in conflict settings should target the most disadvantaged families including the poorest, least educated and those living in rural areas.

Reducing maternal mortality rates in Darfur remains one of the major challenges to the healthcare system in Darfur owing to the on-going conflict, displacement of large number of population, poor transportation networks, destruction of primary healthcare facilities and the lack of solid mechanism to train village midwives. Under these circumstances, the United Nations—African Union Mission in Darfur (UNAMID) continues to invest in reducing the maternal and child mortality rates in Darfur by mobilizing the existing resources and advocating for availability of all services that are directed towards improving the maternal health in the region. The article highlights the positive changes and significant impact that these interventions have had on reducing the maternal mortality rates in Darfur and saving lives of children.

MDGs was implemented over the period 2000-2015 by the United Nations along with 189 members states to tackle several crucial issues, namely ‘extreme poverty and hunger, universal primary education, gender equality and woman empowerment, child mortality, maternal health, HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases, environmental sustainability and globally developmental partnership’ (United Nations 2014). After 2015, the MDGs which was adopted by 189 members states was evaluated by comparing between the MDGs’ targets and its results. By using archival research data, this paper argues that the MDGs have not really failed in fighting against global poverty, because the MDGs showed a global willingness to alleviate numbers of poverty and the MDGs have achieved prominent improvement.
