Congenital anomalies among newborn babies in Felege-Hiwot Comprehensive Specialized Referral Hospital, Bahir Dar, Ethiopia
Abstract Congenital anomaly is a structural or functional defect which could occur in any organ system. 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, Bah...

Abstract Congenital anomaly is a structural or functional defect which could occur in any organ system.
