Women’s recall of maternal and newborn interventions received in the postnatal period: a validity study in Kenya and Swaziland

Abstract

Women are able to accurately report on multiple aspects of care received during a postnatal visit. Findings inform the recommendation of indicators for tracking progress of critical postnatal care interventions for mothers and newborns. Improved measurement of the coverage of maternal and newborn postnatal care is warranted to monitor progress in maternal and newborn care globally.
