Several decades of war, famine and political instability had taken their toll. Ethiopia had some of the poorest health indicators in the world, including a rudimentary rural health infrastructure, poor health service coverage and some of the highest mortality rates globally. 2022-12-01T00:00:00Z http://repository.iphce.org/xmlui/handle/123456789/1694 Roadmap Towards Maximizing Newborn and Child Survival and Wellbeing By 2030 Ministry of Health Between 2000 and now, improvements in coverage of health services along with improvements in other sectors have brought remarkable reduction in child mortality. Ethiopia has achieved considerable reduction in child mortality over the past two decades. Under-five mortality and child mortality reduced from 166/1000 live births and 97/1000 live births, respectively, in 2000 to 55/1000 live births and 43/1000 live births, respectively, in 2019. Neonatal mortality reduced from 49/1000 live births in 2000 to 33/1000 live births in 2019. Currently, neonatal mortality contributes to 54% of under-five deaths. Malnutrition in children under the age of five remain critical challenges in Ethiopia. In 2019, 37% of children were stunted and 21% underweight for age; and 22% of women 15-49 with Body Mass Index less than 18.5. Malnutrition is an underlying cause in up to 50% of under-five mortality. Maternal and child health remains one of the major priorities of the Ethiopian health sector. Expansion and decentralization of primary healthcare services as part of the health extension program, accelerated training of mid-level healthcare professionals, expansion of maternity waiting homes, and training and deployment of emergency surgical officers were among the major health sector investments for maternal and child health services. 2022-10-01T00:00:00Z http://repository.iphce.org/xmlui/handle/123456789/1690 Perioperative Mortality Review and Response Guide April 2021 Ministry of Health Ethiopia has been committed to ensuring that Essential and emergency surgical care is accessible and affordable to its citizens.
