A Community Based Surveillance System for Maternal and Early Neonatal Complications
The Intibucá Case Study
A. Rosales, J. Galindo and A. Flores
This publication is the result of a collaborative experience in the maternal health area, which CRS led in collaboration with COCEPRADII and the Secretary of Health (Region II) in the region of Intibucá, Honduras. This case study describes the development of a population-based health information system aiming at the collection of information on maternal and neonatal health in rural communities isolated from the formal health system. Additionally, the paper describes the training methodology, information flow, and supervision approach used in the system. Based on the experience, its results and lessons learned, the authors concluded that maternal and reliable information to prioritize, plan, implement, and sustain effective intervention strategies can be produced and sustained by community.
