Diarrheal Disease Incidence and Associated Mortality in Ethiopia: A Systematic Subnational Analysis in Global Burden of Disease Study, 1990-2019

Conclusion: Diarrheal disease has remained a public health problem by affecting a large number of the population in Ethiopia. The youngest and elder populations were disproportionately affected by diarrheal disease incidence and associated mortality. This result may call the attention of Primary Public Health Services to revisit universal health coverage in Ethiopia. Moreover, prevention and management modalities need the community ' s and other stakeholders ' engagement and participation. Equal attention needs to be given to older adults as of under-five children. [Ethiop. J. Health Dev. 2023;37 (SI-2)]Keywords: diarrheal disease, incidence, morbidity, mortality, Ethiopia
