Outcomes
Some Outcomes currently do not have indicators. The regional MEL Working Group and Thematic Advisory Groups will be working on the monitoring framework and new indicators will be endorsed and added to this Dashboard over time.
The 2030 target for maternal mortality is less than 70 deaths per 100,000 live births. A number of countries have recorded no maternal deaths in recent years, shown as zero in the graph below.
Under-five mortality rate
Malaria incidence per 1,000 population at risk
Malaria has been eradicated in two sub-regions in the Pacific, but remains a health issue in Melanesia. Three countries (Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands and Vanuatu) continue to experience new cases of malaria.
Mortality rate attributed to cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes or chronic respiratory disease
These figures show the probability a 30-year-old person would die before their 70th birthday from cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, or chronic respiratory disease, assuming that s/he would experience current mortality rates at every age and s/he would not die from any other cause of death.
Premature morbidity and mortality remains a leading health issue in the Pacific region,
Mortality rate attributed to unsafe water, unsafe sanitation and lack of hygiene
