demographic and health survey

A Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) is a comprehensive study that collects data on a country's population, health, and wellness. It provides insights into topics like nutrition, fertility, maternal and child health, disease prevalence, and access to healthcare services. This information helps governments, organizations, and policymakers understand health challenges and demographics, guiding improvements in public health programs and policies. DHS surveys are carefully designed, scientifically conducted, and representative of the entire population, ensuring accurate data to support effective decision-making for better health outcomes.
