Capacity development requires continuous investment. Human resource development is key to providing improved health services. A large number of health staff, including medical doctors and midwives, received scholarships to build capacity in obstetrics and neonatal care. However, local governments' fiscal capacity to finance capacity development was limited or nonexistent. Significant investments, both in terms of capacity building and health infrastructure, will be required to meet the maternal mortality MDG target by 2015.
