dc.description.abstractThis country brief examines the impact of out-of-pocket expenditures for maternal and child services based on analysis of the Timor-Leste Surveys of Living Standards 2001 and 2007. Large disparities exist in usage of critical maternal and child health services between rich and poor (mainly due to large distances that people have to travel to access medical care), and these correlate with maternal and child health outcomes. Expanding the use of facility-based maternal and child health care, especially the service delivery network in rural areas, along with better access to inpatient services is critical to improve rates of skilled birth attendance.en
