An analytical approach towards attaining leave no one behind using patterns and distributions of inequalities in antenatal and facility delivery coverage in Uttar Pradesh, India
The proposed health equity framework suggests that to achieve LNOB status, understanding inequality with the coverage status is important. If coverage is high and inequality persists, identify the program layer at which maximum inequality persists to identify the left behinds. Whereas, if coverage is poor, programs are required to improve coverage first. Findings also call for a systematic way of collecting and organizing granular data to underst…
