Madagascar Maternal and Child Health Data

The Countdown country profile presents in one place the best and latest evidence to enable an assessment of progress in improving reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child health (RMNCH) and achieving MDGs 4 and 5. The profile presents the most recent available information at the time it was published on selected demographic measures, coverage rates for priority interventions across the continuum of care, and indicators of equity, policy support, human resources, and financial flows. Missing values, or estimates that are more than five years old, indicate an urgent need for concerted action to increase data collection efforts.

The most current Countdown country profile, containing the latest available Madagascar health data on key maternal and child health indicators, was published in June 2012 in Building a Future for Women and Children: The 2012 Report.
