| | Disparities within developing |
| | countries contribute as much to |
| | global child health inequalities |
| | as do disparities between the |
| | developing and developed worlds. |
| | These disparities within |
| | countries are being exacerbated |
| | by inequalities in basic health |
| | care, and they will not |
| | necessarily be reduced by faster |
| | progress toward the Millennium |
| | Development Goals. |
| | These are some of the many |
| | findings that emerge from 56 |
| | country reports are produced |
| | through a joint effort of the |
| | Demographic and Health Surveys |
| | (DHS) project and the World Bank. |
| | They are based on data drawn from |
| | 95 household DHS surveys |
| | conducted between 1990 and 2005 |
