The institution of Ethiopian Ombudsman was established in the year 2000By Staff ReporterADDIS ABABA – (BORKENA) – Ethiopian Institute of the Ombudsman (EIO) disclosed that maternal and infant mortality is increasing due to failure of the health institutions to act as per the national and international standards, sources said. The Weekly Amharic, Reporter has mentioned certain causes that contributed for the considerable increment of the maternal and infant mortality rate in 2022/23 Ethiopian Fiscal Year. In the present-day Ethiopia health institutions have made their focus of attention on inpatients or on people who visit the health institutions for treatment rather than preventing the diseases. The reduction of maternal and child mortality in Addis Ababa in the current 2022/23 Ethiopian Budget Year is four times higher than that of the previous FY, according to the news source. These inpatients who visit the city’s health institutions die while receiving treatment thereby increasing the maternal and infant mortality rate.
