Overview

Descriptive assessment reveals critical gaps in evidence-based practices during childbirth in rural health facilities, suggesting urgent improvements.

Key Points

  • 73.1% of mothers were monitored using a partograph during childbirth, indicating some adherence to evidence-based practices.
  • Monitoring of blood pressure was low at 23.6%, highlighting significant gaps in maternal care during facility-based births.
  • Less than 2% of charts included all expected laboratory investigations, emphasizing the need for improved documentation and care quality.
  • The implementation of evidence-based practices was lowest in hospitals compared to lower-level health centers, indicating a disparity in care quality.
