The development speed of cutting down the rate of children and mother mortality in Armenia shows that Armenia will not be able to shortcut the mortality rate by 2/3% till 2015, said Laily Moshiri, the representative of UN children's office in Armenia.
According to the UNICEF report the mother mortality rate in Armenia is rather serious. Mother mortality rate in Armenia is 1 to 180 and in developed countries 1 to 8000.
According to the UN representative insufficient prenatal and birth care, lack of professional staff and equipments are the basic reasons to high rate of mortality, reported Panorama.
