Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS)

The Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) are large-scale, nationally representative surveys conducted in many countries to collect data on population, health, and nutrition. They gather information on topics like fertility, maternal and child health, family planning, disease prevalence, and healthcare access. This data helps governments, researchers, and organizations understand health patterns and challenges, informing policies and programs to improve public health and development. DHS surveys are reliable, standardized, and crucial for tracking progress and planning effective interventions worldwide.
