| description |
This paper focuses on the inequalities
in health, nutrition, and population in Malawi. It presents
data on disaggregated health status and health services
utilization that is organized by asset or wealth quintiles,
a form that enables readers to better understand the
distribution of these indicators from the poorest sections
to the richest sections of society. That is, the profile
takes data on population as well as on reproductive and
child health and nutrition from tables presented in the
Malawi version of socio-economic differences in health,
nutrition, and population and presents them in a more easily
accessible format designed to call attention to the
inequalities that exist among socioeconomic groups. These
kinds of disaggregated data have great potential value for
the design and implementation of efforts to achieve the
millennium development goals (MDGs) for health in a manner
that can bring about the greatest possible gains for the
poor. By focusing attention on the problems suffered by the
disadvantaged groups that are of greatest concern, these
data can increase the likelihood that MDG initiatives will
effectively deal with those problems and reach those groups.
The profile also provides evidence of successful
interventions that have reached those who are poor. The hope
is that this attention will stimulate thought about how best
to reach the neediest groups with health services and other programs. |
