I. Background
The 2014 Egypt Demographic and Health Survey (2014 EDHS) is the most recent in a series of national-level population and health surveys in Egypt.1 The 2014 EDHS was conducted under the auspices of the Ministry of Health and Population. ICF International provided technical support for the the survey through The DHS program. The DHS Program is sponsored by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to assist countries worldwide to obtain information on key population and health indicators. USAID/Cairo also provided funding to support the implementation of the survey. UNICEF and UNFPA also contributed funding to the survey.
The 2014 EDHS survey design involves two components; a survey of ever-married women age 15-49 to update key health and population indicators covered in past Egypt DHS surveys and a special Health Issues survey to obtain updated information on other critical health problems facing Egypt, including the prevalence of hepatitis B and C and the population’s experience with noncommunicable diseases.
This report presents main findings from the ever-married women component. The evermarried women survey was undertaken in order to obtain data on fertility and family planning behavior, child mortality, the utilization of maternal and child health care services, and other issues relating to the health and welfare of women and children in Egypt. The survey obtained detailed information on these issues from a sample of nearly 30,000 households and more than 21,000 evermarried women age 15-49. Anthropometric measurements also were obtained from the eligible evermarried women and for children age 0-19 in all of the sampled households. Information relating to anemia levels among the ever-married women and children age 0-19 was obtained in a subsample of the interviewed households.
This report presents initial findings relating to the principal topics in the survey. The publication of these results is intended to facilitate use of the information in the planning and management of population and health programs in Egypt. A more detailed report will be issued in early 2015.
Full-scale DHS surveys were conducted in 1988, 1992, 1995, 2000, 2005, and 2008. In addition, interim DHS surveys were carried out in 1997, 1998, and 2003. Other national-level surveys for which results are shown in this report include the Egyptian Fertility Survey (1980 EFS), the 1984 Egypt Contraceptive Prevalence Survey (1984 ECPS), and the 1991 Egypt Maternal and Child Health Survey (1991 EMCHS).
