Indicators that reflect key outcomes such as full antenatal care, institutional deliveries, sterilization procedures, IUCD insertion, full immunization, child deaths due to diarrhoeaand acute respiratory infections, and maternal deaths
Process indicators such as postnatal home visits for mothers and newborns, newborns admitted to SNCUs, number of caesarean sections
