Following is a response from Senior DHS Stata Specialist, Tom Pullum:

Two problems. First, you are not using weights. Virtually every number in DHS tables is weighted. Second, you are not using marital status. The table is restricted to currently married women. It is important to read the table titles carefully. If you run this line, "tab v501 v025 [iweight=v005/1000000]" in that file, the top line (rounded to the nearest integers) will give 4709 and 12149.
