HEALTH DELIVERY SYSTEM
In the Island of Mauritius, as at the
end of 2012, there were five regional
hospitals with a total of 2,538 beds and two
district hospitals namely Souillac Hospital
with 48 beds and Mahebourg Hospital with
60 beds. There were also a psychiatric
hospital with a bed complement of 680, and
other specialised hospitals for chest diseases
(61 beds), eye diseases (59 beds), ear, nose,
and throat (E.N.T.) diseases (53 beds) and
heart diseases (67 beds). This brought the
total number of beds in government
institutions to 3,566 in 2012 as compared to
3,819 in 2000.
In the private sector there were, as at
the end of 2012, seventeen private health
institutions with a total of 705 beds. The
total number of beds in the public and
private sectors as at the end of 2012 was
thus 4,271, that is, 294 inhabitants per bed.
In 2000, the corresponding ratio was 264.
All regional and district hospitals
and four of the 5 specialised hospitals,
namely, the Psychiatric, Eye, E.N.T and
Cardiac hospitals have an out-patient
department. Out-patient services were also
delivered in two community hospitals, three
medi-clinics, 20 Area Health Centres (AHC)
and 116 Community Health Centres (CHC).
The basic services delivered at CHC include
the treatment of common diseases and
injuries, maternal and child care, and family
planning. In addition to these services, AHC
also provide dental care. This service was
also delivered in a few CHC’s. 5 Ayurvedic
Clinics were providing outpatient care. Outpatient care was also provided in the private
sector, including clinics and dispensaries on
sugar estates. There were also a chest clinic
and four day care centres for the ImmunoSuppressed in operation as at the end of
2012.
HEALTH PERSONNEL
At the end of 2012, there were
1,722 doctors registered with the Medical
Council of the Republic of Mauritius, that
is 13.3 doctors per 10,000 population. Of
those doctors, 1000 (58.1%) were
employed in the public sector, including
284 specialists.
There were 301 dentists, of whom
59 in the public sector, at the end of 2012.
The corresponding number of pharmacists
was 432 and 23 respectively. The number
of qualified nurses and midwives in the
public & private sectors was 3,737 of
whom 686 were in the private sector.
INPATIENT SERVICE
In 2012, the number of admissions
(including re-admissions) to government
hospitals in the Island of Mauritius were
204,736 of which 183,826 (89.8%) was in
general hospitals. Bed occupancy in the
public sector was 75.0% as compared to
73.5% in 2010 and 69.9 % in 2000.
4
OUT-PATIENT SERVICE
In 2012, a total of 5.1 million cases
have been seen by doctors at the outpatient service points in the public sector,
comprising of general and specialized
hospitals (59.4%) and primary health care
centres (40.6%).
The number of
consultations at hospitals (excluding in
wards) was 3,049,213 in 2012 compared
to 2,986,912 in 2007 whereas that at
primary health centres was 2,087,144 and
1,943,031 respectively. An average of
4,069 patients was seen daily at the
Accidents and Emergency Departments of
government hospitals in 2012 (excluding
L.Mountain and Y.Cantin Community
Hospitals).
In 2012, attendances for the
treatment of common diseases and injuries
at the community hospitals, mediclinics,
area & community health centres were
4.20 million, as compared to 2.83 million
in 2000 and 4.05 million in 2011. An
increase of 3.8% has been noted in the
number of attendances from 2011 to 2012.
In 2004, the monthly average
attendances at the primary health care
centres due to scabies was 1,001
compared to 1,287 for the period 2000 to
2003. Afterwards, an increasing trend in
the incidence of the disease was observed
when the monthly average rose from
1,331 cases in 2005 to reach 2,469 cases
in 2009. Following the setting up of an
enhanced surveillance system, the
increasing trend has been reversed. The
monthly average for the year 2010
dropped to 1,276, representing a 48%
decrease when compared to that of 2009.
The figure which had reached 959 in
2011 has further gone down to 710 in
2012. (see chart below).
5
Available data indicate that the number of
cases which have been treated for Upper
Respiratory Tract Infections (URTI) at all
public health institutions drastically increased
from 414,600 in 2008 to 608,000 in 2009 and
709,000 in 2010. In 2012, the figure stood at
656,100 compared to 603,000 in 2011. The
AH1N1 virus has probably contributed to
these significant increases.
Monthly
attendances due to URTI in the period 20102012 are given in the chart below.

MORBIDITY
The first case of AIDS in the Republic of
Mauritius was notified in October 1987. As at
the end of 2012, a total of 5,720 cases of
HIV/AIDS were detected, of whom 5,508
(4,375 males, 1,133 females) were Mauritians.
74.8% of the 5,508 HIV infected Mauritians
were in the age-group 25 to 49 years and
17.2% in the age-group 15 to 24 years. As
shown on the chart that follows, the number of
new HIV/AIDS cases is more significant
among the male than among the female.
However, the proportion of females increased
from 11.6% in 2004 to 25.3% in 2008, and to
32.8% in 2012.

Prior to 2000 the incidence was fairly low
with 20 to 30 new HIV cases being
reported annually. Over the period 2001
- 2005 the number had increased by
nearly two folds annually: 55 in 2001, 98
in 2002, 225 in 2003, 525 in 2004 and
921 in 2005. The upward trend observed
during these years could be partly
explained by enhanced surveillance and
testing facilities at various points across
the country and scaling up of outreach
Voluntary Counselling and Testing
(VCT) sessions among the most at risk
groups. An average of 548 cases has
been registered from 2006 to 2010. The
number of new cases of HIV/AIDS
decreases to 401 in 2011 and to 320 in
2012.
9
As at the end of 2012, a total of 674
Mauritians registered as HIV/AIDS cases
were known to have passed away (since
1987). All reported deaths were not due
to HIV/AIDS. The number of deaths
registered due to HIV as underlying cause
of death as stated in the death certificates,
which was 19 in 2005, had reached 70 in
2010; in 2012, 76 deaths were reported
due to HIV/AIDS compared to 58 in
2011.

At the beginning of the epidemic, the
mode of transmission of the HIV virus
was predominantly heterosexual. The
rising incidence as from year 2000 was
driven by Injecting Drug Users (IDUs)
acting as the main mode of transmission.
The gradual shift in mode of transmission
from heterosexual to IDUs became
evident in 2003 when 66% and in 2004
when 87.0% of the new cases were
detected among the IDUs as compared to
only 7% in 2001 and 14% in 2002. The
shift reached its peak in 2005 (92%) and
dropped to 86% in 2006, 80% in 2007
and 72% in 2008. It was 73% equally in
2009 and 2010. It decreased to 68% in
2011 and further dropped to 47% in 2012.
The distribution of the 5,508 infected
Mauritians by mode of transmission is
shown in the pie-chart below:

After the epidemic of chikungunya in
2005 and 2006, only 8 cases, all imported, have
been reported between 2007 and 2012; one in
2007, five in 2010, one in 2011 and one in
2012. Eleven cases of dengue were reported in
2010 compared to 252 cases in 2009. In 2011
and 2012, 8 cases and 13 cases have been
reported respectively, all of which were
imported.
Active surveillance for all “Acute
Flaccid Paralysis” cases started in August 2003
in the Republic of Mauritius, covering both the
public and private sectors. The objective of the
AFP Surveillance, as set by the World Health
Organisation, is to detect any possible presence
of polio virus in view to its eradication from the
globe. The target for certification is a non-polio
AFP detection rate of >2 cases/100,000
population aged <15 years. A total of 45 cases
among children less than 15 years of age have
been detected in the country between August
2003 and December 2012; of whom 20 (44%)
were less than 5 years old. The AFP Rate per
100,000 children (<15 years), which had
increased from 0.6 in 2004 to 2.7 in 2007,
dropped to 1.7 in 2008 and has remained below
2 cases in the period 2009-2011. In 2012 it has
gone up to 2.3.
Deliveries constituted 6.2% of all cases
treated as in-patients in government general
hospitals in 2012. Among other principal
causes of discharges, there were Diabetes
Mellitus
with
4.2%,
Diarrhoea
and
gastroenteritis with 3.3%, Acute Upper
Respiratory Infections with 4.2%, Gastritis and
duodenitis with 2.8%, Hypertensive Diseases
with 2.6% and Acute Myocardial Infarction and
other Ischaemic Heart Diseases with 2.6%. The
distribution by ICD-10 chapters indicates that
12.5% of all cases treated were due to
“Pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium”,
10.9% due to “Injury and Poisoning” 10.1%
due to “Diseases of the Respiratory System”
and 9.5% due to “Disease of the Circulatory
System”.
In 2012, of the 18,444 cases (11,594
males and 6,850 females) treated as in-patients
in government general hospitals due to
consequences of external causes, 7,308 (39.6%)
were following “Falls”, 2,016 (10.9%)
following “Transport Accidents” and 1,974
(10.7 %) following “Assaults”. Of the 1,023
(5.5%) cases treated as in-patients following
“Attempted suicides”, 560 (54.7%) were
females.
Admissions due to respiratory diseases
in government general hospitals had
significantly increased from 6.2% of all
admissions in 2005 to 10.1% in 2009, the year
of the AH1N1 epidemic. After a decrease in
2010 (9.5%) and 2011 (9.4%), it went up to
10.1% in 2012.
The number of admissions in government
general hospitals due to “Acute Bronchiolitis”
had drastically increased from 293 in 2003 to
1,465 in 2009, representing an average annual
increase of 67% during that period.
A
significant decrease has been observed in 2010
with 783 admissions. A slight decrease of 6%
has been noted between 2011 (947 admissions)
and 2012 (892 admissions) (see table given
below). This disease affects mostly children
below the age of 5 years (94.7% of admitted
cases in 2012).

Other respiratory diseases that have
contributed to increase pressure on
government in-patient services are “Acute
Upper Respiratory Infections”, “Acute

“Pneumonias”
and,
“Bronchitis,

below). Admissions due to these diseases
have increased during the last 9 years,
whereas admissions due to “Asthma” have
decreased between 2007 and 2012,
probably because many patients may have
access to nebulisers at primary health care
centre level.

In 2012, of the 3,101 cases treated as
in-patient at the Cardiac Centre, 1,670
(53.9%) were for “Angina pectoris”, 706
(22.8%) for “Chronic Ischaemic heart
diseases” and 86 (2.8%) for “Mitral
stenosis and other rheumatic mitral valve
diseases”. A total of 1,326 operations were
performed at the Centre, including reopening cases, of which 646 (48.7 %) were
cardiac surgeries.
Cataract was responsible for 4,470
of the 6,816 cases treated as in-patients at
S.Bharati (Eye) Hospital in 2012 (that is
65.6%). Among the cataract cases, 4,372
(97.8%)
were operated upon.

TRENDS IN CAUSE-SPECIFIC MORTALITY
In 2005, Mauritius adopted the 10th Revision of the International Classification of
Diseases (ICD-10) for mortality coding. This shift and other improvements in the coding
process have resulted into discontinuities in trends of certain specific causes of death.
Percentages of death due to a few major diseases relating to previous years have been
adjusted.

The above table indicates that
there has been a slow increase in the
percentages of death due to “Heart
diseases” till 2005. Since then, a
decreasing trend has been noted. On
the other hand, a more rapid increase
has been noted in regards to “Diabetes
mellitus” over the past two decades.
It has to be noted that W.H.O
guidelines are applied for the selection
of the underlying cause of death
according to the ICD-10. Of all
persons whose cause of death have
been assigned to “Diabetes Mellitus”,
around 40% ultimately died with
“Heart Diseases” and another 30%
with “Strokes” as direct cause of death.
1,118 persons died due to
cancers in 2012. Mortality from this
group of diseases has increased from
9.4% of total deaths in 2000 to 12.3%
in 2012.

As from 2006, a slight decreasing trend has been observed in mortality due to main
Non Communicable Diseases, namely heart diseases, strokes, diabetes, cancers and chronic
respiratory diseases, as depicted by the above chart. Indeed, the death rate due to these chronic
diseases decreased from 488 per 100,000 population in 2006 to 463 in 2011. However, in 2012, the
rate rose to 482.
TRENDS IN SELECTED HEALTH INDICATORS
Figures related to the following health indicators for
the Islands of Mauritius and Rodrigues as well
as for the Republic of Mauritius, together with
charts, are given at page 20-26: Crude Birth
Rates, Crude Deaths Rates, Stillbirth Rates,
Infant Mortality Rates, Under-5 Mortality Rates,
Maternal Mortality Ratios and % Low Birth
Weight.
As indicated by the specific line
graphs, general decreasing trends have been
observed in Mauritius as from 1990 in regards
to Stillbirth, Infant Mortality, Under-5 Mortality
and Maternal Mortality. However, since 2005
or 2006, erratic trends have been noted in these
indicators
The percentage of low birth
weight (< 2.5 Kg) among live births that
occurred in public and private health
institutions, which was 7.9% in 1990 in the
Island of Mauritius, has continued to increase to
reach 17.4% in 2010 then slightly decreased to
17.2% in 2012. The same trend was observed in
Rodrigues where it increased from 5.6% in 1990
to 14.3% in 2006; since then, this rate has
followed an erratic trend with a peak of 15.5%
in 2011.

ISLAND OF RODRIGUES
An Analysis of the Health Situation
Rodrigues Island, administratively autonomous, is of volcanic origin, with an area of
104.0 km2, and is located 560 km north-east of Mauritius. In general, the population is
scattered over the island, with no dominant towns, except the administrative centre, Port
Mathurin.
POPULATION AND VITAL STATISTICS
The estimated mid-year resident
population of the Island of Rodrigues
was 38,167 in 2012 as compared to
36,175 in 2002. The population density,
at the end of 2012 was 368 inhabitants
per square kilometer. During the 10year period (2002-2012) the average
annual growth rate was 0.5%. During
these years, there has been a notable
positive net increase in the migration of
Rodriguans to the main Island of
Mauritius, mostly for economic reasons.
The proportion of population
aged under 15 years slightly decreased
from 31.0 % in 2002 to 30.6 % in 2012,
while the proportion of elderly
population (aged 65 years and above)
increased from 5.6 % to 7.6 %. During
that period, the total dependency ratio
has increased from 578.4 per 1,000 mid
year population aged 15-64 years to
617.1. The young age dependency ratio
increased from 489.6 to 494.0 while the
old age dependency ratio increased from
88.8 to 123.1.
Life expectancy at birth, 70.2
years for males and 76.1 for females in
2002, was 71.5 years and 76.6
respectively in 2012.
The number of live births
registered in 2002 and 2012 was 814
and 728 respectively, corresponding to a
decrease in the crude birth rate from
22.5 per 1,000 mid-year population to
19.1. The number of deaths registered
in 2002 was 229 while in 2012 it was
240. The crude death was 6.3 in 2002
as well as in 2012.
The number of infant deaths,
that is deaths among children aged
under one year, registered in 2002 and
2012 was 19 and 15 respectively,
corresponding to a decrease in the infant
mortality rate (IMR) from 23.3 per
1,000 live births to 20.6. The lowest
IMR, that is 12.3, was recorded in 2005
with only 11 infant deaths. However, as
shown in the chart that follows, it
drastically rose to 27.2 in 2006 then
declined to 15.4 in 2007. Since then, an
increasing trend has been observed.
The number of still-births
registered in 2012 was 8 corresponding
to a still-birth rate of 10.9 per 1,000
total births. In 2004, the still-birth rate
was 24.8 with 24 still-births. After this
peak, a decreasing trend has been
observed till 2011 when the rate reached
4.3 with only 3 registered still births.

stood in the third position.
MORBIDITY
The number of discharged
patients in 2012 was 11,987 of whom

without mention of complications and
720 (6.0%) for Injuries (crushing &
superficial injuries, fractures, open
wounds, dislocation, sprain and
strains).
Diseases grouped by ICD
chapters indicate that Diseases of
respiratory system which was 23.4 % of
total first attendances in 2002 compared
to 23.2 % in 2012. During the same
period, Infectious and parasitic diseases
increased from 9.1 % to 11.1 %.
Diseases of the musculoskeletal and
connective tissue were 9.3 % of first
attendances in 2002 compared to 9.6%
in 2012; in 2006, they represented
14.7% probably due to the outbreak of
chikungunya.
In 2012, the diseases responsible
for the highest number of first
attendances at the 14 Community
Health
Centres
were
tonsilitis,
laryngitis, nasopharyngitis (common
cold), sore throat and URTI with 2,643
attendances (16. 9%) followed by
cough, pain in throat, chest pain,
wheezing, hiccough and sneezing with

In 2012, the number of cases
treated for scabies in primary health
care centres in Rodrigues was 641
compared to 693 in 2011.
This
decrease, though slight, is mainly
explained by the setting up of an
enhanced surveillance system in
Rodrigues in 2012 following the
increasing trend observed between 2009
and 2011. (See chart below)

GLOSSARY
AGE-GROUP
A period covering several years relating to the age of members of a
population. Usually expressed in a range of age last birthday, for
example 15-19 years. This age-group concerns all persons who have
reached 15 years of age, but who have not reached twenty years. A
person aged 19 years, 11 months and 29 days would be included in
that age-group.
ANTENATAL
EXAMINATIONS
Care and examination of expecting mothers during pregnancy
BIRTHWEIGHT
The first weight of the foetus or newborn obtained after birth. This
weight should be measured preferably within the first hour of life
before significant postnatal weight loss has occurred.
BIRTHWEIGHT (LOW)
A birthweight of less than 2,500 grammes (up to, and including
2,499 grammes).
CAUSES OF DEATH
All diseases, morbid conditions or injuries which either resulted in or
contributed to death and the circumstances of the accident or
violence which produced any such injuries.
CHILDBEARING YEARS
The period of her life during which a woman can reproduce. For the
purpose of international comparisons, this is arbitrarily assumed to
be in the age-group 15-49 years.
DEATH
The irreversible cessation of all the following (i) total cerebral
function (ii) spontaneous function of the respiratory system and
spontaneous function of the circulatory system.
DEATH CERTIFICATE
A legal document signed by a medical practitioner indicating the
morbid conditions which lead directly to death and to state any
antecedent conditions giving rise to this cause.
EPIDEMIC
Infections diseases occurring suddenly in numbers clearly in excess
of normal expectancy.
FECUNDITY
The physiological capacity to reproduce.
FERTILITY
The actual reproductive performance.
FOETAL DEATH
Foetal death is death prior to the complete expulsion or extraction
from its mother of a product of conception, irrespective of the
duration of the pregnancy; the death is indicated by the fact that after
such separation the foetus does not breathe or show any other
evidence of life, such as beating of the heart, pulsation of the
umbilical cord, or definite movement of voluntary muscles. (W.H.O.
definition). A distinction is made between early foetal death
(abortion) and late foetal death (stillbirth), the dividing line being the
28th week of gestation.
137
GLOSSARY
GESTATIONAL AGE
The duration of gestation is measured from the first day of the last
menstrual period, and is usually expressed in completed weeks.
(W.H.O. definition).
LIFE EXPECTANCY
The average number of years left to a person to live, if current
mortality trends were to continue. Life expectancy at birth is a much
used health indicator. In most societies the expectancy for females is
a few years longer than for males.
LIFE TABLES
Any of various tables describing mortality and survival data for
groups of individuals at specific times or over defined intervals
LIVE BIRTH
Live birth is the complete expulsion or extraction from its mother of
a product of conception, irrespective of the duration of the
pregnancy, which, after such separation, breathes or shows any other
evidence of life, such as beating of the heart, pulsation of the
umbilical cord, or definite movement of voluntary muscles, whether
or not the umbilical cord has been cut or the placenta is attached;
each product of such a birth is considered live born. (W.H.O.
definition).
MORBIDITY
The measurement of illness in a population.
MORTALITY
The frequency and characteristics of deaths in a population.
NATALITY
The frequency and characteristics of births in a population.
NATURAL INCREASE
The excess of live births over deaths in a population during a given
time period, usually a calendar year. In a few societies the excess is
negative, that is there is a "natural decrease".
NEONATAL INTENSIVE
CARE
Provision of treatment to newborns who are in critical conditions
(normally after birth) necessitating life saving care.
NUPTIALITY
The frequency and characteristics of marriages in a population.
PANDEMIC
A widespread epidemic of a disease distributed or occurring widely
throughout a region/country/continent or globally
PARADONTAL DISEASES
Disease of the soft tissue surrounding the tooth
POSTNATAL
EXAMINATIONS
Examination and care of mother after delivery
VITAL STATISTICS
Demographic data on live births, stillbirths, deaths and marriages.
FERTILITY RATES
AGE-SPECIFIC FERTILITY
RATE
The number of live births to women in each of the five-year agegroups, 15-19, 20-24, ...,45-49, registered during a calendar year,
divided by the estimated mid-year female population in the
respective age-group, and multiplied by 1,000; expressed per 1,000
women in the relevant age-group.
CRUDE BIRTH RATE
The number of live births registered during a calendar year, divided
by the estimated mid-year population, and multiplied by 1,000;
expressed per 1,000 mid-year population.
138
GLOSSARY
GENERAL FERTILITY
RATE
The number of live births registered during a calendar year, divided
by the estimated mid-year female population aged 15-49 years, and
multiplied by 1,000; expressed per 1,000 women aged 15-49 years.
GROSS REPRODUCTION
RATE
The definition and modes of computation and expression of this rate
are similar to those of the Total Fertility Rate, except that only
children of the female sex are taken into consideration. As more
often than not, in any given year, more boys than girls are born, the
Gross Reproduction Rate is usually slightly less than half the Total
Fertility Rate.
NET REPRODUCTION
RATE
This rate is an improvement of the Gross Reproduction Rate, in that
it takes into consideration the fact that some women die before
reaching the end of their childbearing years, and therefore their
contribution to reproduction would be less than that assumed in the
computation of the Gross Reproduction Rate. The Net Reproduction
Rate is therefore always less than the Gross Reproduction Rate. A
Net Reproduction Rate of 1.00 denotes replacement level fertility,
that is the women are having just enough daughters to "replace"
them in the population.
TOTAL FERTILITY RATE
The average number of children that would be born alive to an
average woman during her life-time if she were to be subjected
during her childbearing years (15-49) to the age-specific fertility
rates observed in a given calendar year. Usually computed by adding
the age-specific fertility rates (in five-year age-groups, 15-19, 20-24,
..., 45-49), multiplying by five, and dividing by 1,000; expressed as a
number, usually given correct to two places of decimal.
MORTALITY RATES
AGE SPECIFIC DEATH
RATE
The number of deaths for a specific age/age group divided by mid
year population for this age/age group and multiplied by 10,000.
CAUSE SPECIFIC DEATH
RATE
Number of deaths due to a specific disease/s divided by mid year
population multiplied by 10,000
CRUDE DEATH RATE
The number of deaths registered during a calendar year, divided by
the estimated mid-year population, and multiplied by 1,000;
expressed per 1,000 mid-year population.
INFANT MORTALITY
RATE
The number of deaths of children under the age of one year (0-364
days) registered during a calendar year, divided by the number of
live births registered during the same year, and multiplied by 1,000;
expressed per 1,000 live births.
NEONATAL MORTALITY
RATE
The number of deaths of children under the age of four weeks (0-27
days) registered during a calendar year, divided by the number of
live births registered during the same year, and multiplied by 1,000;
expressed per 1,000 live births.

GLOSSARY
EARLY NEONATAL
MORTALITY RATE
The number of deaths of children under the age of one week, (0-6
days) registered during a calendar year, divided by the number of
live births registered during the same year, and multiplied by 1,000;
expressed per 1,000 live births.
LATE NEONATAL
MORTALITY RATE
The number of deaths of children aged between one week and four
weeks (7-27 days) registered during a calendar year, divided by the
number of live births registered during the same year , and
multiplied by 1,000; expressed per 1,000 live births.
POST-NEONATAL
MORTALITY RATE
PERINATAL MORTALITY
RATE
The number of deaths of children aged between four weeks and one
year (28-364 days) registered during a calendar year, divided by the
number of live births registered during the same year, and multiplied
by 1,000; expressed per 1,000 live births.
The sum of the number of stillbirths and the number of deaths of
children under the age of one week (0-6 days) registered during a
calendar year, divided by the sum of the number of live births and
the number of stillbirths registered during the same year, and
multiplied by 1,000; expressed per 1,000 total live births and
stillbirths. Sometimes the Perinatal Mortality Rate is expressed per
1,000 live births, in which case the divisor in the computation is the
number of live births only.
CHILD (OR EARLY
The number of deaths of children aged between one year and five
CHILDHOOD) MORTALITY years (1-4 years) registered during a calendar year, divided by the
RATE
estimated mid-year population aged between one year and five years
(1-4 years), and multiplied by 1,000; expressed per thousand midyear population aged between one year and five years (1-4 years).
UNDER FIVE MORTALITY
RATE
The number of deaths of children aged under five years (0-4 years)
registered during a calendar year, divided by the number of live
births registered during the same year, and multiplied by 1,000;
expressed per 1,000 live births.
MATERNAL MORTALITY
RATIO
The number of (female) deaths ascribed to complications of
pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium registered during a
calendar year, divided by the number of live births registered during
the same year, and multiplied by 1,000; expressed per 1,000 live
births.
MORBIDITY RATES
INCIDENCE RATE
The number of new cases of a disease registered (or notified) during
a given year, divided by the estimated mid-year population, and
multiplied by 10 raised to the power of a convenient digit, which
depends upon the frequency of the particular disease. For example,
in the Island of Mauritius, in 2002, the incidence rate of pulmonary
tuberculosis was 8.9 new cases per 100,000 mid-year population.
140
GLOSSARY
The number of persons suffering from a particular disease at a given
point in time, usually 30th June or 31st December of a given year,
divided by the estimated population at the same point in time, and
multiplied by 10 raised to the power of a convenient digit, which
depends upon the frequency of the particular disease. Difficult to
compute on a regular basis through lack of disease registers. The
prevalence rates of specific diseases are occasionally estimated by
means of population based surveys.
PREVALENCE RATE
OTHER RATES
BED OCCUPANCY RATE
The percentage of the sum of all occupied beds days divided by the
sum of all available bed days.
CRUDE MARRIAGE RATE
The number of persons civilly married during a calendar year,
divided by the estimated mid-year population, and multiplied by
1,000; expressed per 1,000 mid-year population.
STILLBIRTH (OR LATE
FOETAL MORTALITY)
RATE
The number of stillbirths registered during a calendar year, divided
by the sum of the number of live births and the number of stillbirths
registered during the same year, and multiplied by 1,000; expressed
per 1,000 total live births and stillbirths.
