The Wealth Gap in Health, a wallchart, uses recent research and analysis
to shed light on how the poorest women and children are faring compared
with

their better-off peers. Selected health and population indicators are
provided for 53 developing countries, including fertility, infant and
child

mortality, nutrition, and the use of family planning and other health
services. To view or download the wallchart, go to

Improving the Health of the World's Poorest People, a four-page policy

that play a role in health disparities, and approaches for improving the
health of the poor. The brief is based on a longer report by PRB. To
