| Description |
This fifth report in the NMIS Series includes a brief section in the Introduction on relevant existing data in Nepal, and the government strategy for promoting safe motherhood. The Methods section includes a background to the methodology used in the NMIS, which will be relevant especially for those readers who have not seen the first four reports in the NMIS Series. The methods used in the fifth cycle are described, including the instruments used and the sources of data from households, institutions, key informants and focus groups. The Results section gives the results of a descriptive analysis of the levels of antenatal care, delivery care and other practices during pregnancy and delivery, and information about the outcome of reported pregnancies in terms of the size of the baby and whether or not the baby survived. It includes a univariate risk analysis of those variables having an effect on the risk of not receiving antenatal care and of an adverse outcome of the pregnancy (undersized baby or death of the baby). It also shows the results of the risk analysis to examine the effects of variables in combination on the risk of not having antenatal and delivery care or of an undersized baby or death of a baby. It includes estimates of the possible effects of different interventions aimed at improving antenatal and postnatal care. Results disaggregated geographically and by ethnic group are given in Annex 5.
Note that in this fifth cycle of the NMIS there was no attempt to estimate maternal mortality. Recent estimates of the maternal mortality in Nepal are available from other sources. Nevertheless, it includes data on access to emergency obstetric care and other variables known to be associated with maternal mortality. If it can indicate ways in which these indicators can be improved, this would be expected to result in a reduction in maternal mortality. |
