UNICEF-WHO Low birthweight estimates

The UNICEF-WHO 2019 low birthweight database presents annual estimates from 2000–2015 for 147 countries that had at least one data point meeting inclusion criteria. Country input data were obtained through systematic searches of National Statistical Office and Ministry of Health websites, from websites of the household survey programmes of Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys and Demographic and Health Surveys and from data gathered during an extensive country consultation.
