Maternal care survey panel by country (UNICEF)
Survey-wave panel of three headline maternal-care coverage indicators for ~150-190 countries (keyless UNICEF Data Warehouse SDMX, MNCH dataflow): births attended by skilled health personnel (SDG 3.1.2), antenatal care with 4+ visits, and institutional deliveries, 2000-2025 — each wave with its source survey, a chronological wave index, a latest-wave flag, and the change in points versus the country's first wave. The maternal-care layer for development, global-health and country-risk models; joins on country_code with the catalog's other global panels. Survey waves, not an annual panel.

| country | string | Country name from the catalog's canonical ISO3 mapper (+Kosovo override). |
| indicator | string | Canonical indicator slug: sab (SDG 3.1.2), anc4, or instdel. |
| indicator_label | string | Human-readable indicator definition. |
| value_pct | float | Survey-wave estimate of the indicator, percent. (unit: %) |
| estimate_year | integer | Reference year of the survey estimate (TIME_PERIOD). |
| data_source | string | Source survey name from the UNICEF CL_MATERNAL_SOURCE codelist (raw MNCH_SRC_* code when the codelist has no entry). |
| source_label | string | Originating database/programme label (SOURCE_LINK, e.g. the Joint UNICEF-WHO Database on Skilled Birth Attendance). |
| wave_seq | integer | Chronological wave number within (country, indicator), 1 = earliest wave. |
| is_latest | integer | 1 if this is the country's latest wave for the indicator, else 0. |
| change_pp_vs_first | float | Value minus the country's first-wave value for the indicator, percentage points (0.0 on the first wave). (unit: pp) |

| row_hash | string | Deterministic 12-hex row identity hash (country_code|indicator|estimate_year). |
