Spatiotemporal disparities in maternal mortality and the role of multiscale administrative levels: a 20-year study across Chinese counties
These findings underscore the crucial need for region-specific, time-sensitive policies to achieve maternal health equity across Chinese counties. This study provides a robust empirical foundation for a multi-tiered adaptive policy framework grounded in systematic spatiotemporal assessment across macro, meso, and micro scales to guide targeted maternal health interventions globally.
