Improving Maternal and Child Well-being for Sustainable Development
Preview 3 out of 27 pages
Health conditions in Jordan are among the best in the Middle East. This is due in large part to the Kingdom’s stability and to a range of effective development plans and projects that have included health as a major component. This chapter presents findings on important areas of maternal and child health: antenatal, delivery, and postnatal care; vaccination coverage; and common childhood illnesses (fever, acute respiratory tract infections and diarrhea) and their treatment. In addition, problems in accessing health care, breast self-examination and smoking in women are also discussed. This information, in combination with data on mortality, is useful in formulating programs and policies to improve maternal and child health services.
