Decomposing inequality in Maternal and Child Health (MCH) services in Nepal.
Shreezal G CNaveen AdhikariPublished in: BMC public health (2023)
We find that MCH services are clearly biased towards the women with higher living standards. National policies should focus on empowering women through education and employment, along with the creation of health facilities and improved educational institutions, in order to address inequalities in living standards, women's education levels, and the problem of distance. Leveraging these factors can reduce inequality in MCH services.
