Trends and socioeconomic inequalities in receiving vitamin A supplementation among children aged 6–59 months in Bangladesh: analysis of nationwide cross-sectional data from 2004 to 2017
This study identified a persistent regional inequality in receiving VAS in Bangladesh over time. These inequalities remained a concern, especially for children from poor wealth groups, low-educated families and rural regions. This understanding will inform the development of a comprehensive programme aimed at increasing the prevalence of VAS among all children in Bangladesh.
