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.
