Al Jazeera English - Ethiopia to expand maternal health care programme
The Ethiopian government says it plans to expand its maternal health care programme. The numbers of children dying under the age of five has dropped in recent years. But ensuring the safety of millions of mothers and children living in isolated villages across the country remains a huge challenge when the government relies on foreign donors for around 50 percent of its health care budget.
