Abstract

This fact sheet presents key results of two assessments of the availability and use of emergency obstetric care in Nicaragua: a national level assessment which gathered data from all health facilities which provided obstetric care in 2006, and an assessment of a three-year emergency obstetric care project jointly sponsored by the Ministry of Health, the United Nations Fund for Population and the Averting Maternal Death and Disability project at Columbia University. This Project was carried out between 2002 and 2005 in three SILAIS: Chontales, Jinotega and Rio San Juan.
