The improvement has been in health outcomes and health services coverage. The study examines how different groups have fared in this progress. It tracked 11 health outcome indicators and health interventions related to Millennium Development Goals 1, 4, and 5. These are stunting, underweight, wasting, neonatal mortality, infant mortality, under-five mortality, measles vaccination, full immunization, modern contraceptive use by currently married women, antenatal care visits, and skilled birth attendance. The study explores trends in inequalities by household wealth status, mothers’ education, and place of residence. It is based on four Demographic and Health Surveys implemented in 2000, 2005, 2011, and 2014. Trends in rate differences and rate ratios are analyzed. The study also investigates the dynamics of inequalities, using concentration curves for different years. In addition, a decomposition analysis is conducted to identify the role of proximate determinants. The study finds substantial improvements in health outcomes and health services. Although there still exists a considerable gap between the rich and the poor, the study finds some reductions in inequalities of health services. However, some of the improvements in selected health outcomes appear to be pro-rich.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOSANITATIONCHILD HEALTHACCESS TO HEALTH CARERISKSHOUSEHOLD SIZEREPRODUCTIVE HEALTHQUALITY OF SERVICESCONTRACEPTIONPEOPLEVACCINATIONLEVELS OF MORTALITYANTENATAL CARERURAL WOMENLIVE BIRTHSDEVELOPING COUNTRIESHEALTH CAREOWNERSHIP OF LANDHEALTHPOLICY DISCUSSIONSREPRODUCTIVE HEALTH INDICATORSSKILLED PROFESSIONALSDEVELOPMENT GOALSSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTSKILLED CAREHEALTH RISKSNATIONAL LEVELHEALTH FACILITIESHOSPITALPUBLIC HEALTHLIFE EXPECTANCYMATERNAL MORTALITYINEQUITIESHEALTH SECTORMINISTRY OF HEALTHIMMUNIZATIONMEASLES IMMUNIZATIONCONTRACEPTIVE PREVALENCEINTERVENTIONLOW-INCOME COUNTRIESANTENATAL VISITSHEALTH INDICATORSFAMILY SIZEFACT SHEETOBSERVATIONMORTALITY RATEPLACE OF RESIDENCEGLOBAL HEALTHMORTALITYGLOBAL DEVELOPMENTSKILLED PERSONNELNUTRITIONAL STATUSPROGRESSHOUSEHOLD LEVELCHILDBIRTHINFANT MORTALITYINFANTLIVE BIRTHMIGRANTFOOD SECURITYWORKERSAGEDCONTRACEPTIVESMORTALITY LEVELSMODERN CONTRACEPTIVE USEMATERNAL HEALTH SERVICESPOLICY RESEARCH WORKING PAPERMORALITYHEALTH OUTCOMESURBAN AREASSKILLED BIRTH ATTENDANTSFAMILY PLANNINGIMMUNIZATIONSSKILLED BIRTH ATTENDANCECHILD NUTRITIONMEASUREMENTMEASLESNUTRITIONSERVICE UTILIZATIONMOTHERMETHOD OF CONTRACEPTIONBULLETINPOLICYWORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATIONCONTRACEPTIVE USECHILD MORTALITYHEALTH SYSTEMCHILD MORTALITY RATESSEXWEIGHTMODERN CONTRACEPTIVESRURAL RESIDENTSILL HEALTHMATERNAL HEALTHCHILDRENSOCIOECONOMIC INEQUALITIESDRINKING WATERMODERN CONTRACEPTIONNUMBER OF BIRTHSRURAL AREASNUMBER OF CHILDRENBIRTH ATTENDANTSNUMBER OF DEATHSPOPULATIONPOLIONEONATAL MORTALITYMARRIED WOMENPOLICY RESEARCHSOCIOECONOMIC DIFFERENCESCHILD HEALTH SERVICESWOMENEMERGENCY OBSTETRIC CAREFAMILY PLANNING SERVICESHEALTH INTERVENTIONSMILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALSOBSTETRIC CAREBIRTH ATTENDANTINFANT MORTALITY RATESECONDARY EDUCATIONIMPLEMENTATIONHEALTH SERVICESPREGNANCYDEVELOPMENT POLICYSANITATION FACILITIESWorking PaperWorld Bank10.1596/1813-9450-7508
