The present study has strengths due to use of robust methodology and multiple sources of data that enabled us to see the overtime trends of maternal mortality in Ethiopia. By using this website, you agree to our Data were relatively scarce for Ethiopia; when this occurs, GBD uses two additional ap-proaches to estimate causes of death. This reduction may have resulted from the introduction of the Prevention of Mother-To-Child Transmission (PMTCT) of HIV/AIDS services since 2001 [51]. This suggests the need to enhance accessibility of emergency obstetric care to women in Ethiopia. This study uses secondary data from GBD 2013 study [41].

Prevalence and causes of vision loss in China from 1990 to 2019: findings from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019. Globally, it is the second leading cause of death in children < 5 years-old (around 525,000 deaths annually) and leading cause of malnutrition [2] [3] [4]. While there has been a reduction in the MMR in Ethiopia over the last 23 years, the annual rate of reduction is far lower than targets set. An additional 291 fellows graduated from the FETP frontline track from 25% of Ethiopia’s 1,021 districts, with plans to reach the GHSA target of 80% coverage by the end of 2019. I am glad to join the team discussing on issue of NCD , as it remained the leading cause of death globally around 65% among which cancer is the leading one. The death attributed to HIV infection was higher between 1995 and 2005 but later it significantly declined (Fig. Accessed 1 Apr 2016. 2016;388(10053):1775–812. This pattern was also seen in preceding years. CDC supports Ethiopia’s efforts to reach HIV epidemic control by improving active case-finding, linkage to treatment, viral load testing, and adherence and retention of existing clients on antiretroviral therapy. Malaria is still the leading cause of health problem in the country. Most of the previous studies in Ethiopia were based on a single data sources, or sub-national study, or without identifying the causes of maternal mortality [6,7,8, 10, 38]. Godefay H, Byass P, Kinsman J, Mulugeta A. The finding based on the GBD data was higher than that estimated by WHO [46] (353 per 100,000LB), and reports in Northern Ethiopia [7] (266 per 100 000 LB), Southwest Ethiopia (425 per 100,000LB) [6]; however, it was lower than that reported by the EDHS 2016 report (412 per 100,000) [10], and a study from Southern Ethiopia [8] (1667 per 100,000 LB).

This study found that maternal mortality in Ethiopia over the period 1990–2013 was considerably high and remained above the Millennium Development target goal set in 2000. 2014;24(Suppl):15–28.

Ethiopia is particularly vulnerable to the effects of zoonotic diseases, especially anthrax, brucellosis, and rabies. Almost all maternal deaths (99%) occur in developing countries. Over the different time periods since 1990, the highest rate of maternal mortality as measured through MMR occurred in the age group 20 and 39 years. The top five causes of maternal mortality in 2013 were other direct maternal causes such as complications of anaesthesia, embolism (air, amniotic fluid, and blood clot), and the condition of peripartum cardiomyopathy (25.7%), complications of abortions (19.6%), maternal haemorrhage (12.2%), hypertensive disorders (10.3%), and maternal sepsis and other maternal infections such as influenza, malaria, tuberculosis, and hepatitis (9.6%). The Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey (EDHS) 2016 reported that 62% of the pregnant women used antenatal care, 28% women delivered with skilled attendance at birth, 17% received postnatal care, and 35% women practiced contraception with variations across regions. : a comparison of household deaths and sibling history approaches. 2009;47(2):95–108.
