Objective To identify the progress and achievement level of maternal and child health (MCH) indicators in the two national programs (of women and children development) in Anhui province, China. Methods The MCH indicators in both 2010 and 2015 were obtained using existing data and field survey reults. The progress of indicators was judged by comparing the values in 2015 to 2010. The achievement level was calculated by comparing the values in 2015 to 2020's goal. Results Among the 23 MCH indicators, there were 6 with no values in 2010 and all with values in 2015. Compared to 2010, in 2015, 7 decreased among the 9 indicators which needed to decrease (77.8%); all increased among the 8 indicators which needed to increase. Compared to 2020's goal, there were 17 indicators achieved the goal (74.0%), with achievement rates of 69.2% and 80.0% for maternal and child health respectively. Conclusion The progress and achievement of MCH in Anhui in the recent 5 years were significant, realizing the midterm goals. However, there were many challenges and problems in the road to achieving the "two programs" goals. By improving measures and indicator adjustment, there is a hope to reaching the goals in the year of 2020.
