This indicator reflects the
proportion of women who have recently given birth and received a crucial dose of vitamin A within the first two months postpartum, highlighting the
importance of maternal health in the early stages following delivery. The data is sourced from either Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS), which track maternal health outcomes for births within the last five years, or Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS), focusing on the last two years. Vitamin A supplementation is vital for enhancing postpartum recovery and reducing the risk of complications, thereby
improving overall health outcomes for both mothers and their newborns. This metric serves as a
critical benchmark for evaluating healthcare services and targeting interventions aimed at increasing maternal nutrition and well-being in the immediate postpartum period.
