Excerpt
Introduction Experts in developing countries have rated family planning programme efforts (1–3), thus facilitating useful comparisons between countries (4) and allowing the effects of programme services on outputs to be analysed (5). Expert ratings for HIV/ AIDS programmes have also recently been introduced (6). Such indicators of programme and service adequacy that are comparable across countries can be useful in identifying deficiencies, interpreting morbidity patterns and planning improvements. On the basis of judgements made by experts, we have obtained indicators for maternal and neonatal health services in 49 developing countries. The indicators, designed after a review of existing indicators for maternal health services (7–12), cover both routine and emergency care The present paper describes overall patterns across services and makes preliminary comparisons between countries.
