Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this trial is to determine if the safe delivery smartphone application distributed to health workers in Ethiopia will decrease perinatal mortality and the incidence of postpartum haemorrhage. It is also the purpose to determine if the safe delivery smartphone application distributed to health workers in Ethiopia will increase health workers knowledge and skills in intra-partum management of active management of third stage labour 2) treatment of post-partum haemorrhage 3) manual removal of placenta and 4) neonatal resuscitation.

Clinical Trial Description

Abstract Hypothesis A safe delivery smartphone application distributed to health workers in Ethiopia will decrease perinatal mortality and the incidence of postpartum haemorrhage

A safe delivery smartphone application distributed to health workers in Ethiopia will increase health workers knowledge and skills in intra-partum management of active management of third stage labour 2) treatment of post-partum haemorrhage 3) manual removal of placenta and 4) neonatal resuscitation

Intervention A safe delivery smartphone application with animated videos to improve clinical management during delivery will be introduced in the intervention clusters
