Mortality trends during the past decades suggest that Tanzania may attain the Millennium Goal 4 target "if we maintain the level of coverage of effective interventions." Dr Honorati Masanja said in Dar es Salaam that a re-analysis of DHS data shows prospects of Tanzania achieving MDG4 target. The point estimate for 2010 is 53.5 deaths per 1,000 live births. The MDG4 target for Tanzania is 48 deaths per 1,000 live births from 148 in 1990. |
