Ethiopia has one of the world\u2019s highest rates of maternal deaths and disabilities in the world. Women have a one-in-52 chance of dying from childbirth-related causes each year. Every year, more than 257,000 children under the age of five die and 120,000 die in the neonatal period. More than 60 percent of infant and 40 percent of under-five deaths in Ethiopia are neonatal deaths. We\u00a0work\u00a0to reduce maternal, neonatal, and child mortality rates. We\u00a0support\u00a0integrated packages of evidence-based interventions delivered across a continuum of care at family, community and facility levels by increasing availability of services like skilled birth attendance and essential new born care\/treatment\u2014especially to underserved populations.<\/p>\n

Our achievements to\u00a0benefit\u00a0Ethiopian women and children include the expansion\u00a0of proven interventions such as a comprehensive maternal health package through the health extension program; roll-out of basic obstetric and new born care, essential new born care, integrated management of neonatal and childhood illnesses, and integrated community case management of childhood illnesses including treatment of neonatal sepsis; and increased coverage of skilled birth attendance, immunizations, early identification, and care and treatment of sick children.<\/p>\n
