Maternal and new-born mortality surveillance – Case for Kwale, Kisumu, Vihiga and Siaya
Abstract: Background and Purpose: An analysis of DHIS2 data was done and a comparison of the number of deaths reported on the Integrated Disease Surveillance and Response (IDSR) and MoH 711, discovered that IDSR is under-utilized and inaccurate. This data analysis revealed that on average only 39% and 11% of maternal and neonatal deaths respectively, are reported as emergency events in the four counties. The aim of the study was to unearth the challenges hindering real-time submission of data and to understand the surveillance cycle in use. Methods: A purposive sampling was used to select the research participants and regions to collect the data from. The staff directly involved in the reporting of maternal and new-born deaths were targeted. They included maternity ward-in-charges, surveillance focal persons, health records personnel, and the county health management teams. The awareness of the standard operating procedures and notification policies on zero-reporting was evaluated, as well a.... https://jhia-online.org/index.php/jhia/article/view/197
