Résumé
Background
Afghanistan has made national gains in maternal and child health since 2001; however, national aggregate figures may mask important subnational disparities.
Objective
This study quantifies interprovincial disparities in health outcomes, service coverage, and multidimensional poverty across Afghanistan's 34 provinces to identify areas experiencing the greatest cumulative disadvantage.
