Maternal, infant mortality rate in Morocco down 8.4% in 1st half of 2009Rabat - The maternal and infant mortality rate in public hospitals declined by 8.4% over the first half of 2009, the health minister said.
Yasmina Baddou described this rate as encouraging because the result comes while the ministry started implementing an action plan aimed at reducing maternal mortality as part of the "safe maternity" programme. She was speaking at the House of Representatives' question time on Wednesday. The minister said a host of measures were taken, resulting in a considerable improvement in the indicators of medical consultation before delivery (15%), delivery under surveillance (6%) and caesarian section (13%).
