Measurable Result: To increase the number of women delivering in our facility from an average of 4 to 30 per month by December 31st 2011 .
Why Safe Motherhood? • To implement the Reproductive Health Output Based Approach -program (RH-OBA) for “Safe Motherhood” introduced by the Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation • It had never been a priority since the clinic was running as an HIV centre, only emergency deliveries were allowed.
Pre-LDP situation • Low number of deliveries: The average baseline (July-Dec 2010) ANC mothers 53 and only 4 deliveries. • The community could not afford the hospital delivery. • The community had “cultural myths and misconceptions” about hospital delivery • We had only 4 skilled birth attendants working at our facility.
