INFECTION
Results from this study support the use of CDKs in encouraging clean deliveries among traditional birth attendants and reducing infection in mothers and babies who are yet to be reached by skilled birth workers. Results from this study may be useful in similar settings characterized by poor rates of skilled birth attendance and maternal-neonatal birth outcomes, especially in rural areas where TBAs continue to lead maternal and infant care. Although the kits are low-cost interventions, concerns expressed by TBAs about kit cost suggest uptake may still be limited by financial constraints.
