Improving access to skilled attendance at delivery
Ano de publicação: 2012
Uganda’s maternal mortality has moderately declined from 670 per 100,000 live births in
1990 to 430 per 100,000 live births in 2008. This annual decline of 13 maternal deaths per
100,000 live births is unlikely to achieve the MDG target of 168 per 100,000 live birthsby
2015. The proportion of pregnant women delivering from public and private non-profit
facilities was low at 34% in 2008/09. Increasing skilled birth attendance is desirable to
reduce maternal mortality.
