Demographic and Health Surveys - 9 (DHS-9)

The DHS Program works with governments to collect and share key information about people, their health and their health systems.

This includes information on infant and child mortality, fertility, family planning use, maternal health, child immunization, malnutrition levels, HIV prevalence, and malaria. Anyone can access the data from these surveys, and the indicators are comparable over time and across countries.

Governments, donors, researchers, and civil society (such as faith-based organizations and other domestic and international organizations) use the information from these surveys to inform health-related programming, policies, funding priorities, and research.
