Health Minister Ogtay Shiraliyev said at the ministry’s board meeting that maternal deaths in the country fell to 14.4% from 34.2%, APA reports

 

“In the past, birth of newborns weighing less than 1,000 grams wasn’t registered as live birth, now newborns weighing more than 500 grams are registered as live birth and they are comprehensive medical assistance. Thanks to the efforts of medical staff, about 40% of them are saved. This is a very high figure even for Europe”, said the minister.
