SOURCES: Health - % immunized 2002 1-year-old children - Measles; Health - % of population using adequate sanitation facilities 2000 - Rural; Health - % of population using improved drinking water sources 2000 - Rural.; The percentage of the total population with access to sanitation facilities; Population with access to essential drugs 2000. The data on access to essential drugs are based on statistical estimates received from World Health Organization (WHO) country and regional offices and regional advisers and through the World Drug Situation Survey carried out in 1998-99. These estimates represent the best information available to the WHO Department of Essential Drugs and Medicines Policy to date and are currently being validated by WHO member states. The department assigns the estimates to four groupings: very low access (0-49%), low access (50-79%), medium access (80-94%) and good access (95-100%). These groupings, used here in presenting the data, are often employed by the WHO in interpreting the data, as the actual estimates may suggest a higher level of accuracy than the data afford. b.; Healthy life expectancy at birth (years) 2002 - Females; Healthy life expectancy at birth (years) 2002 - Total population; The number of deaths of infants under one year old in a given year per 1,000 live births in the same year.

The maternal mortality data are those reported by national authorities. UNICEF and the World Health Organization periodically evaluate these data and make adjustments to account for the well-documented problems of under-reporting and misclassification of maternal deaths and to develop estimates for countries with no data (for details on the most recent estimates see Hill, AbouZahr and Wardlaw 2001).
