1. Birthweight and anaemia | Targets | Tools | Research |
|---|---|---|---|
Low birthweight and maternal anaemia prevalence (Hb <10 g/dl and <8 g/dl) by parity | Reduced prevalence of low birthweight and anaemia | Rapid assessment methodologies; annual hospital wet season surveys | Birthweight and anaemia nomograms; annual trends and changes with new interventions |
Malaria prevalence at delivery | Zero prevalence | Health facility surveys | Use of rapid diagnostic tests |
2. Maternal mortality | Declining maternal mortality rates | Demographic health surveys and hospital case fatality rates | Seasonal mortality patterns and severe anaemia and malaria mortality rates |
