DHS data are not randomly sampled from the population, but a complex sampling scheme (usually two-stage cluster sampling) is employed. The DHS final report for the specific country and year will tell you exactly how the sampling was done. This means you will need to make some adjustments to the estimates (e.g., clustering, weighting, or both) if you want to make population-level inferences.
