Definition
| Definition | This indicator measures the percentage of newborns who had postnatal contact with a health-care provider within 2 days of birth over the project-specified time period. |
|---|---|
| Numerator | 1) Number of newborns who received postnatal contact over the project-specified time period |
| Denominator | 1) Number of live births in the health facility during the same project-specified period |
Recommended Means of Verification
There are two methods to measure this indicator:
(1) Looking at data from health facility service statistics, HMIS/DHIS2, program records, and child health registers.
To calculate the indicator's value, divide the number of newborns who received postnatal contact over the project-specified time period by the number of live births in the health facility during the same project-specified time period. Multiply the result by 100 to convert it to a percentage.
(2) Collect the following data by conducting individual interviews with a representative sample of women aged 15-49 years who in the project specified time period delivered a live child: was a live child given birth to in the last [specified period of time], was their health checked at a facility, home or other place by a health-care provider, how long after delivery was the first check, who performed the check and for facility births, was a check performed by a provider after discharge (with similar questions on timing, location, who performed check)
(Note: sequence of questions about details of postnatal contact will differ depending on whether the delivery occurred in/outside a health facility)
To calculate the indicator's value, divide the number of newborns who had postnatal contact with a health-care provider within 2 days of birth over the project-specified time period by the total number of last live births during the same project-specified time period. Multiply the result by 100 to convert it to a percentage.
