The third from last sentence of the abstract, which reads:

“However, U-5MR shows reversal to a significant urban advantage in 2015/2016, and slight increases in urban advantage are noted for infant mortality rate, underweight, full childhood immunization, and stunting rate in 2015/2016”.

Should be changed to:

“However, U-5MR shows reversal to a significant urban advantage in 2015/2016, and slight increases in urban advantage are noted for infant mortality rate, underweight, and stunting rate in 2015/2016.”

Table 3, Figs. 4 and 5 (both of which are based on Table 3), should be changed as below, to reflect corrected figures on full immunization coverage for 2015/16; ARI treatment for 2014 and fever treatment for 2006 and 2010.

Due to changes to table and figures as above, in the results section, under the subsection on “Child health service utilisation indicators by urban-rural place of residence”, the last sentence of the first paragraph that reads:

“Utilization of diarrhea and fever treatment services clearly show a trend of declining urban advantage to an extent that rate differences are in the negative direction reflecting a rural advantage with regard to access to treatment for the two common childhood morbidities in the 2006, 2010, 2014, and 2015/2016 survey reports.”

Should be changed to:

“Utilization of diarrhea and fever treatment services clearly show a trend of declining urban advantage to an extent that rate differences are in the negative direction reflecting a rural advantage with regard to access to treatment for the two common childhood morbidities in the 2014 and 2015/2016 survey reports.”

In the same subsection, the last sentence of the second paragraph which reads:

“Full immunization coverage for children at 12 months also reflects a declining urban advantage over the years, moving to a rural advantage (RD = − 6) in 2010 albeit there is an almost equal utilization in 2014 (RD = 0.6) and a reversal to a slight urban advantage in 2015/2016 (RD = 2.2).”

Should be changed to:

“Full immunization coverage for children at 12 months also reflects a declining urban advantage over the years, moving to a rural advantage (RD = − 6) in 2010 albeit there is an almost equal utilization in 2014 (RD = 0.6) and further regaining rural advantage in 2015/2016 (RD = −7.1).”

In the discussion section, last sentence of the second paragraph that reads:

“However, U-5MR shows a reversal to a significant urban advantage in 2015/2016, and slight increases in urban advantage are noticed for IMR, underweight, full childhood immunization, and stunting rate in 2015/2016.”

Should change to:

“However, U-5MR shows a reversal to a significant urban advantage in 2015/2016, and slight increases in urban advantage are noticed for IMR, underweight, and stunting rate in 2015/2016.”
