Maternal and Newborn Care. Although coverage for prenatal care was low in the survey (as recorded on antenatal cards), these results are most likely due to poor retention of antenatal cards. The high coverage of self-reported IPT indicates that prenatal coverage is much higher. Although the project will work with community volunteers and health workers to continue to promote prenatal care, the main focus will remain on increasing postpartum care coverage and assisted deliveries. The survey confirmed earlier data that use of Trained Traditional Birth Attendants is very low, and the project will need to work closely with communities to increase that coverage when families choose home births.
