Interviewer instructions

A large number of maternal deaths and new born deaths occur because of untreated or inadequately treated complications arising during delivery. This question specifies whether the delivery took place in a health facility, and will help identify groups that are under served by the health care system.

If the delivery was in a hospital or other health facility, ask if it was government operated or private.
