The App consisted of questions around three main themes, "What went well?", "What needed improvement?" and "What can be done differently next time?".ResultsObservational data from 5,799 births was recorded by 120 NMMs in 320 PHCs. Knowledge and skill during normal spontaneous vaginal deliveries and complicated deliveries with either a postpartum haemorrhage or non-vigorous infant all showed statistically significant improvement (p l .001) over time using a Chi-squared test for trend with a mean increase of 41% across all indicators. |
