Topics commonly covered in MICS include immunization, education, child and maternal health, family planning and knowledge of HIV/AIDS. MICS also provides data for tracking progress toward Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), particularly those related to health, education and mortality. For the 2013 Panama MICS, 9,431 women ages 15-49 were successfully interviewed from 9,882 households. Additionally, 5,846 questionnaires for children under five were completed.
