Background and Objectives: Health indicators such maternal and child mortality rates are social indicators that are used to measure the development of each country. This study aims to investigate the status of maternal and child health indicators and total fertility rate in the last 10 years in Iran compared to the sustainable development goals (SDG) of the World Health Organization (WHO).
Methods: This is a systematic review study. A search was first conducted to find studies related to the study objectives in Iran from 2012 to 2022 in online databases of SID, IranDoc, Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus and Google Scholar, using the keywords: Health, fertility, mothers, children. The results of the studies were compared with the SDG indicators of the WHO.
Results: The initial search yielded 162 articles. After removing duplicates and screening the studies based on the inclusion criteria, finally 20 articles were selected for the review. The status of SDG indicators in Iran, except for neonatal mortality rate and low birth weight, was in accordance with the SDGs of the WHO until 2030.
Conclusion: In the last ten years, the status of most SDG indicators in Iran has been favorable. However, the attention should be paid to the factors affecting neonatal mortality rate and low birth weight to reduce their rates and improve the country’s health status.
