1. State of maternal and child health inequality Introduction: Group work has done by participants of Mongolia WHO: Regional Capacity Workshop

2. Outline  Overview  Selected indicators  Latest status  Trends  Benchmarking  Conclusion

3. Latest status score

4. Trend score

5. Selected indicators  Data set: MICS 2005 and 2010  Early initiation of breast feeding  Stunting  Indicator selecting rationale:  For early initiation of breast feeding, situation is getting worse even though inequality is decreased  For stunting, situation is improved but there is still existing inequality, and  There is no inequality and almost full coverage for other indicators

6. 1. Early initiation of breastfeeding, 2010

7. Early initiation of breastfeeding (by region) Early initiation of breastfeeding (by wealth)

8. Early initiation of breastfeeding BENCHMARKING

9. 2. Stunting (height for age) in children under 5 years, 2010

10. Stunting (height for age) in children under 5 years, by area Stunting (height for age) in children under 5 years, by region RD=12.3 RR=1.6 RD=13.6 RR=2.3

11. Stunting (height for age) in children under 5 years, by sex RD=11.4 RR=1.4 RD=7.7 RR=1.4 Stunting (height for age) in children under 5 years, by education

12. RD=13.9 RR=1.7 RD=18.6 RR=3.8 Stunting (height for age) in children under 5 years, by wealth

13. Stunting (height for age) in children under 5 years BENCHMARKING

14. Conclusion  Early initiation of breastfeeding  National average is declining or situation is getting worse  Poorest group mostly use breastfeeding and it is less among wealthy women  Comparing other countries, coverage is not so bad It can be concluded that…. an action even not urgent is needed and its score would be “2”

15. Conclusion  Stunting in children aged below 5  National average is declining or situation is good  Stunting is higher among poorest group, male babies and in Western and Eastern regions  Comparing other countries, coverage and general situation are not bad, but in terms of absolute measure of inequality is in mid range. In terms of relative measure, there is high inequality.  Data says us that Mongolian situation is better than Vietnam, but worst than other given countries It can be concluded that… an action even not urgent is needed and its score would be “2”
