COUNTDOWN TO 2030 Leaving no woman or child behind: health inequalities in Zambia

A vital element of the SDGs is to mitigate inequalities and ensure universal coverage effectively. This will facilitate access to lifesaving services for Reproductive, Maternal, Neonatal, and Child Health (RMNCH). In Zambia, coverage for some critical interventions for RMNCH has improved between 2007 and 2013 surveys. However, despite the great strides made in improving health service delivery, disparities between sub-regions, wealth quintile, and residence persist.
