Health Ministry said that it recorded 116 cases of maternal mortality in 2013, a figure that is markedly lower than accepted
rates recorded by health organisations in recent years.
Health Minister said that according to the report, the government have nearly achieved the 2015 Millennium Development Goal. About 320,000 births were recorded last
year, 80% of which took place in recognised health centres. The
government is making efforts to promote women giving birth in health centres,
especially in rural areas, and that’s why the ministry wants to expand more health centres.
