Abstract:

The purpose of this report is to present and discuss the data related to maternal health which have been collected in the second and third phases of the DHS. While the data presented in the report is in no way comprehensive, they indicate where countries fall in relation to each other and point to populations within countries where problems of access and service availability are particularly relevant.
