As a basis for improvement of maternal health care programmes in Mozambique, 1051 pregnant women were interviewed at 10 sites in 8 of the country's 10 provinces. Two-thirds of the women lived in rural areas. The average number of previous births ranged from 2.4 to 4.7 and was significantly correlated to the proportion of children lost before 5 years of age. Child survival was significantly higher when the woman had received some education, possessed a radio, or the woman or her husband had paid employment. In the most underprivileged rural area, 56% of the children had died before the age of 5 and 35% of the pregnant women had undergone 6 childbirths or more. It is concluded that in order to improve maternal and child health it is necessary to increase socioeconomic development as well as improve maternal and child health care.
作为莫桑比克改善孕产妇保健项目的依据，在该国10个省份中的8个省份的10个地点对1051名孕妇进行了访谈。三分之二的妇女生活在农村地区。以前生育的平均数量在2.4至4.7之间，并且与5岁前失去孩子的比例显著相关。当妇女接受过一些教育、拥有收音机、或者妇女本人或其丈夫有带薪工作时，儿童存活率显著更高。在最贫困的农村地区，56%的儿童在5岁前死亡，35%的孕妇生育过6次或更多次。结论是，为了改善孕产妇和儿童健康，有必要促进社会经济发展并改善孕产妇和儿童保健。
