Testing the recording of priority facility-based, maternal and newborn coverage indicators for use in health management information systems

We are planning to conduct a study to assess the validity of routine health facility-level registers and reporting documentation to measure selected coverage indicators in order to inform use (or not) of these indicators in national and global reporting. In this study we are aiming to assess to what extent registers or reporting documentation can be used to reliably extract data that can then be used for tallying at that level and in the routine HMIS.
