An analysis of cause-specific under-5 mortality in Bangladesh using the demographic and health survey 2011 and 2017-2018.

ABSTRACT:

Background

As the Sustainable Development Goal 3.2.1 deadline (2030) approaches, rapidly reducing under-5 mortality (U5M) gains more prominence.

The respective estimates were compared.
