Primary | Mean number or percent of items correctly answered | Each observed structured clinical exam (OSCE) or knowledge tests has between 13 and 38 items. A participant needs to achieve 85% correct score to pass at post-training to assess provider competencies. The main indicator for analysis will be the mean number of items (or percent of items) correctly answered. This mean percent of items correctly answered will be done pre-training, post-training and after 6 months. This will be done in the 8 intervention group facilities only in Phase I and again in the 8 new facilities in Phase II. | 1 day | |
Primary | Intrapartum perinatal death ratio | Defined as death of a fetus during labor who had heart tones documented on arrival in the maternity and neonatal deaths prior to 24 hours, divided by total births. | 1 day | |
