Drawn from the Millennium Declaration, adopted and agreed to by all Governments in 2000, the MDGs represent the commitments of United Nations Member States to reduce extreme poverty and its many manifestations: hunger, disease, gender inequality, lack of education and access to basic infrastructure, and environmental degradation.

GOAL 5: Improve maternal health. GOAL 6: Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other diseases. GOAL 7: Ensure environmental sustainability. GOAL 8: Develop a global partnership for development. 1. What is the present maternal and child condition in the Philippines based on the previous Millennium Development Goal and the current Sustainable Development Goal? The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted family planning and maternal and newborn health services globally, and in the Philippines to these indirect effects may significantly increase the annual maternal deaths and unintended pregnancies for 2020 compared with the pre-COVID years, a study by the University of the Philippines Population Institute (UPPI) and the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) revealed. 2. As a nurse how can you contribute to the attainment of the SDG? In order to attain the goals of SDG as a nurse, I will volunteer on a campaign/program that supports and helps people which focuses on people's health and safety including education for children and people who didn't finish their studies because of poverty. For example, "free medicine and consultation in barangay". And also, I will do my best as a nurse to provide every people's care and needs. I will be more dedicated and committed to my work. Nurse or not we can still achieve the goals of SDG by helping and also giving respect to any gender, race, religion and culture. 3. Cite a personal experience on maternal and child nursing on how to promote maternal and child care. From what I've read, it is important to treat patient like your family. So, as a nurse you need to be a care provider, a teacher, manager of care and who advocates for the patient. Nurses participates in promoting health and safety regarding to maternal and child care. Based on my experience, when my mom was pregnant way back 2015. I was the one who took care of her until she was admitted to the hospital. I slept 2 weeks in the hospital so I can check my mom until she gave birth to my younger brother. I also took care of my younger brother like watching him on a phototherapy due to prematurity. 4. What are the challenges face by the Philippine government with regards to maternal and child nursing especially this pandemic? The challenges that Filipinos and the Philippines government are facing is first, the pandemic gave us a lot of stress and problems. It increases the cases of poverty and failing to provide and promote maternal and child nursing care. Second, nurses are more focused on this COVID situation, helping COVID positive patients to get cured and also stopping the transmission of the virus. That's why maternal and child nursing doesn't given a lot of attention. And lastly, Philippine government and other government agency issues like, corruption. It is also a challenge for us Filipinos. Also, nurses, women and children are being neglected by the government. These are the challenges that we are facing this pandemic regards to maternal and child nursing.
