This paper examines the impact of access to
health facilities on infant and child mortality in
Uganda. Using the proportional hazard model,
the paper shows that access to health centers
affects childhood mortality of rural children;
however, the effect is only substantial for children
born to non-educated mothers. This study was
partly funded by the Rockefeller Foundation
through the Macro International Small Grants
Program.
