Abstract
Introduction: Every year in the world, 530000 women die from causes related to maternity, 4000000 infants die in the neonatal period, and the same number of stillbirths are born, especially in the Middle East and Morocco, the millennium development goals of reduction.
Objective: a meta-analysis based on literature studies on the health status, maternal, and neonatal child, mortality, and its causes in the Middle East and Morocco.
Method: 617 articles in the databases (189, 177, 113,101, and 37 articles obtained in Scopus, Elsevier, PubMed, Google Scholar, and other engines).
Results: The maternal mortality rate recorded in Yemen is the highest, reaching 8.900% in 2019, the percentage was the lowest in all of Lebanon, Iran accounted for 0.023% in 2018. The neonatal mortality rate was the highest in Iraq it reached 32.10% in 2022, and the death rate was the lowest in Egypt at 5.00%. The child mortality rate was the highest in Syria (23.1%) in 2021, and Jordan had the lowest (6.7%) in 2022. The policies seek to reduce maternal, neonatal, and child mortality by increasing health awareness, health care quality, competencies of equipment, supplies, manpower, and media for education and recording epidemiological data. Morocco and Turkey, in 2030 seek to reduce MMR to 71 deaths per 100,000 births.
Conclusion: The health policies followed in the countries limit the rise of maternal, neonatal, and child mortality rates, hence the importance of conducting more studies and in-depth research and applying future policies and strategies to reduce the mortality rate
