Ensure Healthy Lives and Promote Well-being for All

Sustainable Development Goal 3 and HSTP-II Goals

The HSTP-II explains: "Life expectancy at birth increased from 58 years in 2007 to 65.5 years in 2017, with an annual rate of increase ranging from 1.98% in 2007 to 0.7% in 2016. Despite encouraging improvements in life expectancy at birth, premature death and suboptimal quality of life still constitute major health and development challenges in Ethiopia."

Major progress has also been made on reducing malaria, tuberculosis, and the spread of HIV/AIDS.

However, many more efforts are needed to control a wide range of diseases and address many different persistent and emerging health issues.

Reduce Maternal Mortality: Maternal Mortality Ratio

Targets

HSTP-II target: "By 2017 EFY (2024/2025), reduce the national mortality Ratio (MMR) to 279 per 100,000 live births. "
SDG target: "By 2030, reduce the global maternal mortality ratio to less than 70 per 100,000 live births. In addition, all countries should reduce the maternal mortality ratio to less than 140 per 100,000 live births."

Maternal Mortality Ratio
Definition: The maternal mortality ratio refers to the number of women who die from pregnancy-related causes while pregnant or within 42 days of pregnancy termination per 100,000 live births.

Results:
Targeted Projected Status
HSTP-II: 279 by 2017 EFY (2024/2025 G.C) 263 [189 - 378]
SDG: 140 by 2022 EFY (2030 G.C) 183 [126 - 279]

The projection made in this section does not consider the change in factors affecting maternal mortality ratio. It is merely a numeric projection.

Reduce Maternal Mortality: Skilled Birth Attendants

Targets

HSTP-II target: "By 2017 EFY (2024/2025), increase deliveries attended by skilled health personnel from 50% to 76%."
SDG target: "No goal specified by the UN for the share of births attended by skilled staff."

Skilled Birth Attendants
Definition: Percentage of births attended by personnel trained to give the necessary supervision, care, and advice to women during pregnancy, labor, and the postpartum period; to conduct delivery.

Results:
Targeted Projected Status
HSTP-II: 70% by 2017 EFY (2024/2025 G.C) 100%

The projection made in this section does not consider the change in factors affecting percentage of skilled birth attendants. It is merely a numeric projection. Linear Interpolation was implemented for some years with missing skilled birth attendants value.series on their own and to give care for new-borns.

End All Preventable Deaths under the age of 5: Under-5 Mortality Rate

Targets

HSTP-II target: "By 2017 EFY (2024/2025), decrease under-5 mortalities from 59 per 1,000 live births to 44 per 1,000 live births. "
SDG target: "By 2030, end preventable deaths of new-borns and children under 5 years of age, with all countries aiming to reduce neonatal mortality to at least as low as 12 per 1,000 live births and under-5 mortality to at least as low as 25 per 1,000 live births."

Under-five Mortality Rate
Definition: The under-5 mortality rate measures the number of children per 1,000 live births who die before their 5th birthday.

Results:
Targeted Projected Status
HSTP-II: 44 by 2017 EFY (2024/2025 G.C) 42 [32 - 54]
SDG: 25 by 2022 EFY (2030 G.C) 31 [23 - 41]

Under-five mortality rates were estimated from EDHS (Ethiopian Demographic Health Survey) datasets. To see the estimation procedures, please click here!

End All Preventable Deaths Under 5 Years of Age: Infant Mortality Rate

Targets

HSTP-II target: "By 2017 EFY (2024/2025), decrease infant mortality from 47 per 1,000 live births to 36 per 1,000 live births. "
SDG target: "No goal specified by the UN for the share of infant mortality rate."

Infant Mortality Rate
Definition: The infant mortality rate measures the number of children per 1,000 live births who die before their 1st birthday.

Results:
Targeted Projected Status
HSTP-II: 36 by 2017 EFY (2024/2025 G.C) 32 [23 - 43]

End All Preventable Deaths Under 5 Years of Age: Neonatal Mortality Rate

Targets

HSTP-II target: "By 2017 EFY (2024/2025), decrease neonatal mortality from 33 per 1,000 live births to 21 per 1,000 live births. "
SDG target: "By 2030, end preventable deaths of new-borns and children under 5 years of age, with all countries aiming to reduce neonatal mortality to at least as low as 12 per 1,000 live births and under-5 mortality to at least as low as 25 per 1,000 live births."

Neonatal Mortality Rate
Definition: The neonatal mortality rate measures the number of children per 1,000 live births who die before their 1st month.

Results:
Targeted Projected Status
HSTP-II: 21 by 2017 EFY (2024/2025 G.C) 21 [14 - 32]
