The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and associated factors of congenital anomalies among newborn babies delivered at Felege-Hiwot Comprehensive Specialized Referral Hospital, Bahir Dar, Ethiopia. A cross-sectional study design was used to review medical records/charts of 11,177 new born babies born at the delivery ward of Felege-Hiwot Comprehensive Specialized Referral Hospital, Ethiopia. The data were collected using an abstraction form. A bivariate analysis was done to assess factors associated with congenital anomalies.
