This indicator reflects the percentage of live births attended by skilled personnel, highlighting the critical role of qualified healthcare providers in maternal and neonatal health. It encompasses data sourced from various surveys, including the DHS and MICS formats, which vary in their time frames—spanning from one to three years prior to the survey. A high percentage indicates better access to essential healthcare services during childbirth, suggesting improved health infrastructure and outreach programs. Analyzing these figures provides valuable insights into health system strengths, potential disparities in care availability, and can guide policy interventions aimed at enhancing maternal health outcomes and reducing infant mortality rates in targeted communities.
