Overview of maternal and perinatal mortality in Sudan

Abdel Lateef Ashmaig Khalifa et al. Semin Fetal Neonatal Med. 2015 Oct.

Abstract

The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), agreed on by world leaders at a UN summit in 2000, set targets to achieve by 2015. MDGs 4 and 5 specifically focus on the health of women and children. Sudan is classified as having insufficient progress in achieving MDGs 4 and 5. Both local and international efforts are needed to improve maternal and perinatal mortality rates. Ultrasound is expected to have a positive impact on improving maternal and perinatal mortality.

Keywords: Maternal mortality; Perinatal mortality; Ultrasound.
