Predictors of recovery in children aged 6–59 months with uncomplicated severe acute malnutrition
Objective: To identify predictors of recovery in children with uncomplicated severe acute malnutrition (SAM). Design: This is a secondary data analysis from an individual randomised controlled trial, where children with uncomplicated SAM were randomised to three feeding regimens, namely ready-to-use therapeutic food (RUTF) sourced from Compact India, locally prepared RUTF or augmented home-prepared foods, under two age strata (6–17 months and 18–…
Effect of home-based newborn care on neonatal and infant mortality
BACKGROUND: Home-based newborn care has been found to reduce neonatal mortality in rural areas. Study evaluated effectiveness of home-based care delivered by specially recruited newborn care workers- Shishu Rakshak (SR) and existing workers- anganwadi workers (AWW) in reducing neonatal and infant mortality rates. METHODS: This three-arm, community-based, cluster randomised trial was conducted in five districts in India. Intervention package consi…
Who Wants to Go Repeatedly to the Hospital?” Perceptions and Experiences of Simplified Medical Abortion in Rajasthan, India
The aim of this study is to explore women's experiences and perceptions of home use of misoprostol and of the self-assessment of the outcome of early medical abortion in a low-resource setting in India. In-depth interviews were conducted with 20 women seeking early medical abortion, who administered misoprostol at home and assessed their own outcome of abortion using a low-sensitivity pregnancy test. With home use of misoprostol, women were able …
Does mode of follow-up influence contraceptive use after medical abortion in a low-resource setting? Secondary outcome analysis of a non-inferiority randomized controlled trial
Clinicaltrials.gov NCT01827995
Huwa Rog, Parhej, and Desi Dawai
Although more maternal deaths occur in the postpartum period, this period receives far less attention from the program managers. To understand how the women and their families perceive postpartum health problems, the culturally derived restrictions, and precautions controlling diets and behavior patterns, we conducted a mixed-method study in Rajasthan, India. The study methods included free listing of maternal morbidity conditions, interviews wit…
Emergency obstetric care and referral
This paper documents the experience of two health centres in a primary health service located in interior rural areas of southern Rajasthan, northern India, where trained nurse-midwives are providing skilled maternal and newborn care round the clock daily. The nurse-midwives independently detect and manage complications and decide when to refer women to the nearest hospital for emergency care, in telephonic consultation with a doctor if required.…
Introducing Medical Abortion within the Primary Health System
Over the years, a de-medicalisation strategy has been adopted for a range of public health interventions and commodities for the reduction of mortality, morbidity and population growth, including those for reproductive, neonatal and child health, communicable diseases, and trauma and emergency care, as a way of enhancing access to essential services. These experiences carry valuable lessons for de-medicalising and simplifying the provision of med…
Elective Abortion as a Primary Health Service in Rural India
India allows abortion up to 20 weeks of pregnancy but places restrictions on abortion facilities and providers. Abortion services are especially deficient in rural areas. Although vacuum aspiration is safer, sharp curettage continues to be used by providers as they lack relevant training. This paper describes the provision of first trimester abortion services using manual vacuum aspiration (MVA) in a rural clinic in the state of Rajasthan over a …
The Copper-T 380A IUD
High unmet need for limiting contraception persists in most states of India despite wide access to sterilisation. Qualitative evidence from a rural community in which child mortality is high and women's autonomy is low suggests that women may seek reversibility in a contraceptive even if they have finished childbearing. This paper describes the introduction of the Copper-T380A — a contraceptive with an effective life span of ten years — as an alt…
