In Laos, the maternal mortality rate is about 470 death per 100,000 live births. Today, the Lao government takes mother and child care as the first priority task in the area of public health. Almost all villages in Laos now have access to health care centers in their own villages. However, some villages in very remote areas still have no access to health care centers. The Ministry of Public Health is now planning to establish health care centers for all villages. In conjunction with the mother health care, the government of Laos pays more attention to the child health care because the infant mortality rate or child mortality rate is also high among the age group of under 5. It is about 98 per 1,000 live birth. To improve infant mortality rate, the Ministry of Health stresses on immunization and vaccination against diseases for every child. In the near future, the maternal and infant mortalities rates will be reduced to a certain level. 3_Eng_M6 TG ready for print.pdf 149 7/31/2015 9:28:31 AM ສ.ວ.ສ ສະຫງວນລຂ ິ ະສດ ິ
