Monitoring Birth Preparedness and Complication Readiness: Tools and Indicators for Maternal and Newborn Health
This manual is the product of a joint collaboration between the Maternal and Neonatal Health Program at Jhpiego and Family Care International through its Skilled Care Initiative.
The manual provides guidance in assessing and monitoring safe motherhood programs that
intervene at multiple levels. It establishes a set of indicators, called a Birth Preparedness and Complication Readiness (BP/CR) Index, for each of six levels: the individual woman, her family (husband/partner), the community, the health facility, the provider and the policymaker. It also provides a comprehensive set of tools for deriving these indicators and tracking progress. The manual therefore represents an initial attempt to establish a standardized set of indicators that could
be used across countries and/or programs for monitoring safe motherhood programs based on a
birth preparedness and complication readiness approach. (2004) Available in English.
