Paediatric healthcare in Manhiça district through a gender lens: a retrospective analysis of 17 years of morbidity and demographic surveillance data
Girls had fewer referrals and admissions to hospital in Manhiça district, but they were also less likely to present with severe manifestations. Other studied indicators of healthcare access and provision were overall similar for boys and girls. Further research is needed to continue assessing potential gender biases and sex differences in paediatric healthcare in Mozambique.
