Recent trends in maternal and child health inequalities in Latin America and the Caribbean
Although LAC countries are well placed in terms of current levels of health indicators compared to most low- and middle-income countries, important inequalities remain, and reversals are being observed in some areas. More targeted efforts and actions are needed in order to leave no one behind. Monitoring progress with an equity lens is essential, but this will require further investment in conducting surveys routinely

Factors Associated With Low Physical Activity in Two Latin American Populations at Risk of Developing Type 2 Diabetes
Low level of physical activity is a risk factor for chronic non-communicable diseases. Specifically, people at risk of Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) have shown to benefit from being physically active. The objective of this study was to explore what factors were associated with low physical activity in people at high risk of T2D living in Bogota and Barranquilla, Colombia. Methodology: Cross-sectional study using baseline data from a quasi-experimental cl…
Timing and number of antenatal care contacts in low and middle-income countries
BACKGROUND: The 2016 World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines for antenatal care (ANC) shift the recommended minimum number of ANC contacts from four to eight, specifying the first contact to occur within the first trimester of pregnancy.

METHODS: Using 54 Demographic and Health Survey…
Basic maternal health care coverage among adolescents in 22 sub-Saharan African countries with high adolescent birth rate
Diarrhea management in children under five in sub-Saharan Africa
Many children's lives can be saved with correct management of childhood diarrhea. Too many children are not receiving adequate care for diarrhea in high-burden sub-Saharan African countries, even among those seen in health facilities. Redoubling efforts to increase careseeking and improve quality of care for childhood diarrhea in both health facilities and at community level is an urgent priority
