The numerator of this indicator includes children whose birth certificate was seenby the interviewer or whose mother or caretaker said the birth had been registered.Skilled attendant at birth – Proportion of births attended by skilled health personnel (doctor, nurseor midwife).Underweight prevalence (WHO) – Percentage of children 0–59 months old who are below minustwo standard deviations from median weight-for-age according to WHO Child Growth Standards.Measles coverage – Percentage of infants who received measles-containing vaccine.Use of improved sanitation facilities – Percentage of the population using any of the followingsanitation facilities: facilities with sewer connections, septic system connections, pour-flushlatrines, ventilated improved pit latrines, pit latrines with a slab or covered pit.MAIN DATA SOURCESSources of data for all indicators presented in this table are included next to each data point, exceptfor the ‘Use of improved sanitation facilities’ indicator, for which the data source is WHO/UNICEFJoint Monitoring Programme for Water Supply and Sanitation, 2010.Italicized data are from different sources than the data presented for the same indicators in othertables of the report: Table 2 (Nutrition – Underweight prevalence), Table 8 (Women – Skilledattendant at birth), Table 9 (Child Protection – Birth registration).Sources for immunization data in this table differ from the total data sources presented in Table 3, whichare the WHO/UNICEF Joint Immunization estimates. Immunization coverage survey data have beenexcluded from selected CEE/CIS countries for which data reflect maternal recall only rather than bothvaccination card and maternal recall.NOTES – Data not available.x Data refer to years or periods other than those specified in the column heading, differ from the standard definition or refer to only part of a country. Such data are not included in the calculation of regionaland global averages.y Data differ from the standard definition or refer to only part of a country. Such data are included in the calculation of regional and global averages.z Recommended measles vaccination age in country is greater than 21 months; the coverage shown is therefore an underestimate.** Excludes China.STATISTICAL TABLES 137
