dc.description.abstract | Nestled in eastern and southern Africa, with a population
of just over 39 million, Uganda reported a maternal
mortality ratio of 360 per 100,000 live births, a neonatal
mortality rate of 19 per 1000 live births and an infant
mortality of 38 per 1000 live births in 2016 [1,2]. While
health outcomes have been improving, much more progress
could be realized, particularly given that the majority
of maternal and child health deaths are avoidable.
Contact with the health system occurs, but not when it is
most needed. In Uganda, although 95% of mothers
received antenatal care from a skilled provider for their
most recent live birth, only 59% of live births in the past
5 years were delivered by a doctor or nurse/midwife, and
57% were delivered in a health facility in 2011 [3]. | en_US |
