Such increases in spending might be prioritized initially on improving funding of childbirth care and in improving the availability of medicines at MOHFW facilities. Results also demonstrate that badly targeted government health expenditures also apply to MNCH services, with less than one-tenth of Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MOHFW) expenditures on childbirth care benefiting the poorest 40%. Government expenditures disproportionately benefit the nonpoor, and very little reaches the poorest mothers and children.Text1 digital file (30 p. : ill.)Application/pdfenMATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTHHEALTH FINANCINGBANGLADESHHOUSEHOLD EXPENDITUREOUT-OF-POCKET EXPENDITUREACCESS TO HEALTH CARECHILD HEALTHGOVERNMENT PROGRAMMESHEALTH INEQUALITYSynthesis Report
