title: Too many births, too many deaths.
abstract: In Yemen, where both population increase and maternal mortality are exceptionally high, a strategy for safe motherhood has been adopted. The authors outline the obstacles to progress and suggest ways in which the aims of the strategy might be realized, with particular reference to complete reorganization of the services of family planning and maternal and child health care.
