Ethiopia has recorded a significant reduction in maternal and infant mortality following sustained health sector investments, the Ministry of Health said. The ministry reported higher rates of facility-based childbirth, expanded maternal health services, and wider access to surgical and emergency services. Officials cited the growing number of voluntary blood donors as key to reducing postpartum hemorrhage. The gains were highlighted during Healthy Motherhood Month, which promotes sustainable financing and innovation in maternal and newborn care.
