Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Maternal Postnatal Care Referral The proportion of delivery clients that are successfully referred by the traditional birth attendant for postnatal care within 48 hours of delivery. For each delivery client that the traditional birth attendant reported, we visited at least three days after delivery to ascertain if they had been asked to visit the postnatal clinic, clarify if they had visited the clinic within 48 hours of delivery, and what care they had received (if yes). The team visited traditional birth attendants every two weeks to identify new clients. Where a new client was not up to three days post-delivery, the interview was postponed until the next visit by the team to the community. This occurred repeatedly, over a five-month frame. Within 48 hours of delivery
Secondary Neonatal Postnatal Care Referral Proportion of neonates delivered by the traditional birth attendant that are successfully referred for postnatal care within 48 hours of delivery Within 48 hours of delivery
