For women who gave birth in the five years before the survey, PNBABCKBD4_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the child's postpartum health check was performed by a family welfare assistant. This variable is country-specific to Bangladesh.

PNBABCKBD4_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (PNBABCKBD4_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., PNBABCKBD4_02, PNBABCKBD4_03, PNBABCKBD4_04, PNBABCKBD4_05, and PNBABCKBD4_06) during the reference period prior to the survey.
