Births in the 48 clusters under surveillance are identified by local women, who notify interviewers employed by the project. An interview is taken at 6 weeks postpartum for each birth. The registration system provides data on maternal survival, stillbirths and neonatal outcomes. It also provides data on care during pregnancy, delivery and postpartum, both at home and through health services. | — |
