Summary 

The Panama Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) 2013 is part of MICS5, an international survey initiative to monitor the situation of children and women. Topics commonly covered in MICS include immunization, education, child and maternal health, family planning and knowledge of HIV/AIDS.
