    Open AccessPhyllis Dako‐Gyeke, P Dako-Gyeke et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal for Equity…2016

For some regions these missed opportunities mimic previously observed gaps in continuous use of primary care for maternal and child health in those areas. Increased national and regional efforts aimed at improving maternal and child healt…
