Summary

Family-led Postnatal Care-FPNC A midwife involves families and uses a visual checklist to assess and counsel. The midwife then gives families the checklist along with information on how to retrieve a "homecare kit" that has a blood pressure machine, infrared thermometer, and health education booklet. At home, families assess the health of postnatal mothers and newborns for 6 days, and then return the completed checklist and homecare kit to the community location. A community health worker collects the checklists monthly. This study aims to assess the acceptability and feasibility of the FPNC and assess if FPNC increases the proportion of women/newborns who have a postnatal check in the first week after delivery and the proportion who seek care from a health provider when a postnatal danger sign is identified. The study will take approximately 12 months.
