Learning from Ethiopia’s success in reducing maternal and neonatal mortality through a health systems lens

202413 citationsOpen accessBahir Dar University

Abstract

Ethiopia has achieved one of the fastest declines in mortality in sub-Saharan Africa, with major intervention coverage increases, especially from 2010. Starting from a weak health infrastructure and low coverage, Ethiopia's comprehensive approach provides valuable lessons for other low-income countries. Major increases towards universal coverage of interventions, including emergency care, are critical to further reduce mortality and advance the mortality transition.
