Trends in the quality of health care for children aged less than 5 years in Afghanistan, 2004–2006

This paper focuses on a subset of the data from the balanced scorecard in Afghanistan to assess trends in the quality of health care for children less than 5 years in 2004–2006 and the factors associated with those changes
