Description
Amanuel Gebrekidan and co-authors examine, in a 2026 study, how wealth gaps shape newborn care after birth in Tanzania. Good postnatal care cuts newborn and child deaths, yet national data on care that is both received and of real quality were scarce.
Using the 2022 national health survey, the team analyzed more than four thousand mothers who had given birth in the prior two years. A standard concentration index measured how effective care tilts toward richer families. A decomposition then split that tilt among its drivers, such as education, residence, and service access. The breakdown tells planners which levers could narrow the gap fastest.
