Abstract:
UNASSIGNED: Since 1990, global child and infant mortality rates have typically stabilized or decreased due to improved healthcare, vaccination rollouts, and international funding. However, Afghanistan continues to face the highest child and infant mortality rates globally, with 43 deaths per 1000 live births. This study aims to examine the factors contributing to this high mortality rate and propose interventions to address the issue.
UNASSIGNED: A comprehensive literature search was conducted using databases such as Google Scholar and PubMed, focusing on articles published in English within the last 10 years (2013-2023). The search terms included \"Child mortality,\" \"Infant mortality,\" \"SIDS,\" \"COVID-19,\" and \"Afghanistan.\" Original studies, systematic reviews, case studies, and reports meeting the inclusion criteria were selected for analysis. Additional sources from organizations such as UNICEF, the World Bank Group, WHO, and EMRO were also reviewed.
UNASSIGNED: The study findings reveal significant challenges contributing to Afghanistan\'s high infant and child mortality rates. These challenges include birth defects, preterm birth, malnutrition, sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), traumatic injuries, fatal infections, infanticide, and abuse. The ongoing conflict, insecurity, and humanitarian crises further exacerbate the situation, leading to increased child casualties. Despite efforts by international agencies like UNICEF to provide vaccines and maternal education, the infant mortality rate remains high.
UNASSIGNED: In conclusion, Afghanistan\'s child and infant mortality rates are of significant concern, and it is imperative that action be taken to reduce the incidence of child and infant mortality rates.
摘要:
自1990年以来,由于医疗保健的改善,全球儿童和婴儿死亡率通常稳定或下降。疫苗接种推广,国际资金。然而,阿富汗仍然面临着全球最高的儿童和婴儿死亡率,每1000名活产中有43人死亡。这项研究旨在研究导致这种高死亡率的因素,并提出解决这一问题的干预措施。
使用GoogleScholar和PubMed等数据库进行了全面的文献检索,重点关注过去10年(2013-2023年)用英语发表的文章。搜索词包括“儿童死亡率,\"\"婴儿死亡率,\"\"小岛屿发展中国家,\"\"COVID-19,\"和\"阿富汗。\"原始研究,系统评价,案例研究,选择符合纳入标准的报告进行分析.儿童基金会等组织的其他来源,世界银行集团,WHO,和EMRO也进行了审查。
研究结果揭示了阿富汗婴儿和儿童死亡率居高不下的重大挑战。这些挑战包括出生缺陷,早产,营养不良,婴儿猝死综合征(SIDS),外伤,致命的感染,杀婴,和虐待。持续的冲突,不安全,人道主义危机进一步加剧了局势,导致儿童伤亡人数增加。尽管联合国儿童基金会等国际机构努力提供疫苗和孕产妇教育,婴儿死亡率仍然很高。
总而言之,阿富汗的儿童和婴儿死亡率令人严重关切,必须采取行动降低儿童和婴儿死亡率。
