Uganda Hello fellow United Nations members, it is an honour to be here. While the MDG’s can be considered a global success as they have enhanced the lives of many people within developing nations, it is still important to note that there are still glaring factors in developing countries that are holding them back.

particular concern is women and maternal health in Ethiopia. According to the millennium goal developments, the fifth goal is to reduce maternal mortality rate by 75% by 2015. One reason that maternal health needs to be increased in Ethiopia is because of the large amount of women who die each year.

The second article under consideration is discussing the correlation reflects causality from more schooling to better health. For example, past studies suggest that years of formal schooling completed is the most important correlate of good health; however, the relationship may be traced in part to reverse causality since a longer life expectancy increases the payoffs to investments in schooling and since healthier students may attend school for longer periods of time (Grossman, 2008).
