Eligibility |
Inclusion Criteria: - For measuring outcomes, inclusion criteria are all mothers admitted to a study site for childbirth and newborn babies who are to be followed-up. In case a mother or baby from an enrolled site is referred out to another facility (before or after delivery) the mother-baby dyad will be included in the study and the outcome will be allocated to the referring facility - For a smaller subset of birth events (approximately 4,650 deliveries total), health worker practices will be observed to measure the impact of the SCC program on delivery of essential practices, as a secondary outcome. A convenience sample of women who agree to observation and their babies cared for by the health workers around the time of childbirth at the facility during data collectors' duty hours will be included in this component of the study. Exclusion Criteria: - Mothers who have been referred into the facility by an inter-facility transfer. - Mothers being managed for abortion. - Mothers who refuse consent for follow-up |

Other | Mean Number of 18 Essential Birth Practices Performed at 2 Months Post-intervention Start | Birth attendant's rate of completion of "Process measures" resulting from Safe Childbirth Checklist program will be assessed in a sample of total birth events at 2 months after the intervention is introduced to intervention facilities. The below measures reflect the mean number of 18 essential birth practices performed across the intervention versus control facilities at 2 months post-intervention start. | 2 months post-intervention start | |
Other | Count of Participants Where Essential Birth Practices Were Observed at Admission, 2 Months Post-intervention Start | Birth attendant's rate of completion of "Process measures" resulting from Safe Childbirth Checklist program will be assessed in a sample of total birth events at 2 months after the intervention is introduced to intervention facilities. The below measures reflect the essential birth practices performed at the time of the woman's admission to the facility, 2 months post-intervention start. | 2 months post-intervention start | |
Other | Count of Participants Where Essential Birth Practices Were Observed Just Before Pushing, 2 Months Post-intervention Start | Birth attendant's rate of completion of "Process measures" resulting from Safe Childbirth Checklist program will be assessed in a sample of total birth events at 2 months after the intervention is introduced to intervention facilities.
