Goal 5 / Improve Maternal Health
Targets possible to achieve if changes are made
Maternal mortality has fallen by about 50 percent from the mid-nineties, from 539 to 281 cases per 100,000 births. However, only 1 out of 5 births are attended by a skilled birth attendant, linking also clearly to the high mortality rates of newborns. Access to maternity and reproductive health services should be made universal and free of cost, as provided by the Interim Constitution. The provision and retention of skilled staff and equipped and functioning facilities in rural areas is key to this.
