How to improve child health service utilisation in Ethiopia

Ethiopia successfully achieved Millennium Development Goal 4 of reducing under five mortality by more than two-thirds between 1990 and 2015. Adoption of the health extension programme, and implementation of the integrated management of neonatal and childhood illnesses (IMNCI) and the integrated community case management (iCCM) models of care, contributed to this achievement. However, child mortality remains high at 67 per 1,000 live births.

How to improve maternal health service utilisation in Ethiopia

Guided by global health initiatives and with support from the international community, Ethiopia is implementing the primary health care model to improve access to basic maternal health services.

This Issue Brief presents key facilitators and barriers to maternal health service utilization in primary care in Ethiopia.
