Abstract:
Although Pakistan has reduced maternal mortality ratio by 57% over the last 2 decades, Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) unmet maternal mortality targets are a matter of concern to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. Provincial level maternal mortality data suggested large disparities and inequalities within the country. Therefore, the primary objective of this study was to identify the national- and provincial-level spatial inequalities regarding access to reproductive health care services. Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis (ESDA) was used to leverage the information of spatial clusters and outliers based on the Reproductive Healthcare Services (RHCS) index of 20XX and 20XX.
