Crude birth rate indicates the number of live births occurring during the year, per 1,000 population estimated at midyear. Subtracting the crude death rate from the crude birth rate provides the rate of natural increase, which is equal to the population growth rate in the absence of migration.
Contraceptive prevalence rate is the percentage of women who are practicing, or whose sexual partners are practicing, any form of contraception. It is usually measured for married women ages 15-49 only.
Total health expenditure is the sum of public and private health expenditures as a ratio of total population.

Child immunization measures the percentage of children ages 12-23 months who received vaccinations before 12 months or at any time before the survey.
