The use of health facility data to assess the effects of armed conflicts on maternal and child health: experience from the Kivu, DR Congo

Abstract

Although good in general, the HF reporting rate in the Kivu was negatively impacted by conflict intensity especially at the beginning of the DHIS2's rolling-up. Routine HF data appeared useful for assessing and monitoring trends in RMNCH service coverage, including in areas with high-intensity conflict.
