Clinical Trial Summary

This study aimed to adapt and implement a district-led, policy-based, low cost Maternal and Newborn Health (MNH) intervention package using the MamaToto process, proven successful in Uganda, in rural Tanzania. The investigators hypothesized that the 'MamaToto Package' will be successfully implemented in the Misungwi District and will be effective in improving key maternal and newborn health indicators of study participants.

Data collection tools/strategies included 1) a mapping exercise, 2) health facility audit 3) household surveys and 4) exit interviews. Data was collected at baseline and endline. Operational data was collected throughout the life of the study.
