  1. Part I: Safe Motherhood Kristen Cotter, MSIV

  2. Africa: % of all Maternal Death: 48% Lifetime risk: 1 in 20 MMR: 830 Developed Countries: % of all Maternal Death: 0.5% Lifetime risk: 1 in 2500 MMR: 20 (per 100,000 live births) WHO/UNICEF/UNFPA, 2000

  3. Why care (and act)? • 529,000 maternal deaths in 2000 • Often leading cause of adult female death • Great disparity • MMR 50x higher in developing countries • Infant health & survival affected • Maternal deaths are avoidable

  4. Causes of Maternal Death Worldwide Note: #1 cause of Maternal Death in USA doesn’t even make the top 5.

  5. The Making Pregnancy Safer Initiative(Safe Motherhood Initiative) • Vision: All women go safely through pregnancy and childbirth, and that their infants are born alive and healthy. • Goal: To reduce maternal mortality by 75% from 1990 levels by the year 2015. www.WHO.org

  6. The old hope (1987 Nairobi S.M. Conference). . . • The key to reducing maternal mortality was in the community • Risk assessment by trained non-doctor • Low risk delivery with TBA • High risk referred to skilled attendant • Antenatal care by TBAs

  7. New realizations (1997 Columbo Technical Consultation). . . • Every pregnancy faces risk • No data to show that training TBAs lower MM • Key to lowering MM: Health Infrastructure Clean, Safe Delivery with Skilled Attendance for all women

  8. Key Components of Safe Motherhood • Skilled attendance (now 62%) • Health systems • Policies • Essential supplies of medicines and equipment • Infrastructure • Referral system • Monitoring & evaluation • Supervision & training of staff • Records • Involving communities

  9. Part II: Safe Motherhood Needs Assessment Kikoneni and Dzombo Locations Kwale District, Coast Province, Kenya Kristen Cotter March – May 2003

  10. Mombasa Mombasa Mombasa

  11. ICRH Background • Branch of Univ. of Ghent SOM, Dept. of OB/Gyn • Kenya programs include: • HIV prevention (sex workers, workplace, youth) • Voluntary Counseling & Testing (VCT) • Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission of HIV • Safe Motherhood

  12. Kikoneni and Dzombo LocationsBackground • Pop. 44,647 • 2 hours outside of Mombasa • Estimated HIV seroprevalence: 9% • 49% ♀, 29% ♂ never attended school • 8% ♀, 17% ♂ educated past primary school • Home building materials: • Grass/palm roofs 74% • Mud and wood walls 64% • Earth floors 75%

  13. Kenya Background • MMR: 1000 per 100,000 live births • Lifetime risk of OB death: 1 in 19 • Fertility rate: 4.7 • Rural: 5.2 • No education: 5.8 • ♀ using modern contraception: 32% • Births in health facility: 42% (WHO/UNICEF/UNFPA 2000, DHS 1998)

  14. Design and Methodology • Survey tools developed and used in similar settings • MEASURE Evaluation • WHO Safe Motherhood Needs Assessment • Adapted by ICRH staff • Professionally translated & back-translated into Swahili • Locations • Kikoneni Health Centre (KHC) • 3 Dispensaries • Mobile Clinic • Interviewer: Diana Ngombo (clinical & PH nurse, ICRH staff)

  15. Overview of Assessment • Retrospective Review of KHC clinical records • ANC Register • FP Register • Maternity Admissions Register • Cross-Sectional Surveys • Facilities Assessment (drugs, equip., supplies) • Human Resources (provider knowledge, training) • ANC Client Exit Interviews • TBA Interviews

  16. Limitations • Sample sizes small • Multiple translations • Non-random sampling • ANC clients in register, but only 12-22% had lab results recorded • Women who come to clinics for ANC or delivery are different from general community Descriptive only. Cannot be generalized. • Without community-wide survey, prevalence cannot be determined (though we tried) • Observation bias & social desirability bias • Population Council tool problematic

  17. WHO Pillars of Safe Motherhood • Pillar #1 ANC • Pillar #2 Clean, safe delivery • Pillar #3 Emergency Obstet. Care • Pillar #4 Family Planning
