The main goal of the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) project is to provide comprehensive data on disease burden to support evidence-based decision-making and policies at local, regional, national, and global levels. This supplement focuses on topics including health policy, access to healthcare and disease in Brazil.

This supplement has key implications for measuring progress for theSustainable Development Goals, especially those related to Every Newborn target. There are many findings with practical relevance to improved measurement of pregnancy outcomes in population-based surveys.
