Mapping of mothers' suffering and child mortality in Sub-Saharan Africa

Abstract Child death and mothers who suffer from child death are a public health concern in Sub-Saharan Africa. The location and associated factors of child death and mothers who suffer child death were not identified. To monitor and prioritize effective interventions, it is important to identify ho...
