| description |
Bhutan is a small landlocked country
in the Himalayas between China and India. Poverty reduction
has been rapid from about 23 percent in 2007 to 12-13
percent in 2012. Gender equality and women's
empowerment are important determinants of reproductive
health. Contraceptive prevalence rate (CPR) is higher among
the poorest quintile than the richest. Large disparities in
access to skilled birth attendant remain by geography and
wealth quintile. Poor nutrition is a serious issue for
pregnant mothers, since 55 percent of women are anemic.
Bhutan will need to focus on increasing the focus on quality
along the continuum of care; improving access and equity;
and ensuring sustainability of health financing. |
