Voice of MIS-Health

Introduction Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR) and Infant Mortality Rate

(IMR) have decreased significantly over the past years.

Bangladesh could reduce its MMR by 66% from 1990 to

2010 (in 20 years). In 1990, MMR in Bangladesh was 574

per 100,000 livebirths. According to Bangladesh Maternal

Mortality Survey 2010 (BMMS 2010), it was to be 194 per

100,000 livebirths in 2010. The Millennium Development

Goal 5 has set target for reduction of MMR by three-fourths

between 1990 and 2015 (25 years), which means a 75%

reduction. This reduction in MMR in the country is

attributable to the Government's strong commitment

through national policies and programs. The Government is

committed to improving the health services of the common

people, particularly of the mothers and children. Various

programs have been undertaken on Reproductive Health,

which include strengthening of Comprehensive Emergency

Obstetric Care (EmOC) services, amongst others, at

various medical college hospitals, district hospitals, upazila

health complexes, and at community levels. This newsletter

provides information on the status of EmOC facilities in

Bangladesh from January to June 2011 and compares with

the status in 2009 to 2011.

Information covered in the newsletter

• Status of EmOC services provided from

January to June 2011 in public, private and

NGO facilities with division-wise and health

facility-wise distribution

• Comparison of EmOC service status

between year 2009 and 2011

I am happy to know that MIS-Health of DGHS is publishing the 10th issue of "Voice of MIS-Health" with support from UNICEF Bangladesh

focusing on the EmOC performances. We may have a good level of satisfaction that we could make a remarkable success in reducing maternal

mortality rate. It is now 194 per 100,000 livebirths, i.e. 40% reduction from 2001 figure and 66% reduction from 1990 figure. In the next sector

program, we are providing much more emphasis to enhance the maternal health program. Therefore, we may believe that we would be able to

achieve the targets of MDG 5 by 2015.

This newsletter will definitely help us understand different parameters of EmOC performances. If we learn from the lessons, we would be

benefited towards achieving our goal.

I thank the MIS-Health, DGHS, for their valuable efforts. I would like to thank everyone who worked hard to publish this newsletter.

Bangladesh has made a remarkable progress in maternal and child healthcare services in the recent time. Bangladesh Maternal and Child Mortality Survey

2010 (BMMS 2010) shows 194 maternal deaths per 100,000 livebirths. Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR) is now used as a global indicator of overall health status

of women in any given country, where Bangladesh certainly has shown success. Emergency Obstetric Care (EmOC) has been recognized as an accepted

intervention for reducing the maternal mortality. When we have greater confidence about achievement of MDG 5, we should have greater effort to enhance the

intervention too for Emergency Obstetric Care (EmOC).

It is my great pleasure that the 10th issue of the newsletter "Voice of MIS-Health" is going to be published. The newsletter reports the EmOC performances and

their analysis based on the UN process indicators, which would enable comparison of data with other countries. However, the data presented here were not

collected in a research setting; rather were extracted from the facility registers and records filled in by staff nurses. We reported selected process indicators as

relevant to our context.

The UNICEF (Bangladesh) deserves special thanks for funding EmOC programs as well as for providing technical assistance and funding support for printing

this newsletter. I gratefully acknowledge the efforts made by members of the Editorial Board, who provided their time to review inputs of this newsletter.

Our country made a significant progress in achieving MDG 5. This progress has been made in the past decade. Maternal mortality rate in

Bangladesh was 574 per 100,000 livebirths in 1990. It was 322 per 100,000 livebirths in 2001. The current rate is 194 per 100,000 livebirths.

This trend indicates that we will achieve our target of 143.5 per 100,000 livebirths by 2015. However, there is no room for complacence. As the

target is nearing, difficulty may also be much more to achieve more progress. Therefore, we would need to strengthen our efforts so that we can

reach the MDG 5 target by 2015.

It is, indeed, a great pleasure for me to know that the 10th Issue of "Voice of MIS-Health" on EmOC performances is going to be published by

MIS-Health. I am pleased to see that UNICEF is continuing its support to publish the newsletter. I thank UNICEF for this assistance.

I hope that the persons concerned with EmOC interventions, the planners and the managers of different levels will find this report useful in

improving the existing EmOC program. Finally, I would like to thank everyone who worked hard directly and behind the screen for publishing

this newsletter successfully.

MethodData from 649 health facilities, consisting of 14 medical

college hospitals, 62 district and general hospitals, 417

upazila health complexes, 57 maternal and child welfare

centers (MCWCs), 35 NGOs and 62 private hospitals in 62

districts, and 2 other types of hospitals, have been used for

analysis. Census 2011 data covering the current

population, expected births, and expected complications of

pregnancies have been used. Crude birth rate (CBR) was

calculated as constant of 19.4 births per thousand

populations (SVRS 2009, Bangladesh Bureau of

Statistics). Finally, the CBR and the census population of

year 2011 by division and district were used in generating

the expected number of births in each area. These

numbers of births were used in calculating the process

indicators.

ResultsTable 2 shows the division-wise distribution of admitted

patients, total deliveries, caesarean sections, livebirths,

stillbirths, maternal deaths and neonatal deaths. Data

show that there were 278,312 reported deliveries at EmOC

facilities in the country during January to June 2011 and,

out of them, 272,981 yielded livebirths and 8,344 resulted

in stillbirths. Among the total deliveries, caesarean sections

were 117,198. There were 668 maternal deaths and 1,335

neonatal deaths.

Performance-measuring indicatorsThe United Nations launched a guideline on EOC performance called United Nations (UN) Process Indicators in 1997 to

measure the status of emergency obstetric care in developed and developing countries. These UN Process Indicators

measure (i) the number of hospitals that can provide care for emergency obstetric conditions per 500,000 populations; (ii)

distribution of hospitals in the catchment area (iii) proportion of births in the hospitals; (iv) proportion of women with

obstetric complications treated in the hospitals; (v) caesarean section rate; and (vi) case fatality rate.

Division-wise status of EmOC Services (January-June 2011)

Process Indicator Acceptable level

1) Coverage by Essential Obstetric Care

(EOC):

Basic EOC facilities

Comprehensive EOC facilities

For every 500,000 population, there should be:

At least 4 Basic EOC facilities

At least 1 Comprehensive EOC facility

2) Geographical distribution of EOC facilities Minimum level for the coverage by EOC services is met in sub-

national areas

3) Proportion of all births in Basic and

Comprehensive EOC facilities

At least 15% of all births in the population take place in either Basic

or Comprehensive EOC facilities

4) Met need for EmOC:

Proportion of women estimated to

have complications who are treated

in EOC facilities

100% of women estimated to have obstetric complications are

treated in EOC facilities

5) Caesarean sections as percentage of all

births

As a proportion of all births in the population , caesarean sections

account for not less than 5% but not more than 15%

6) Case Fatality Rate (CFR) The case fatality rate among women with obstetric complications

in EOC facilities is less than 1%

Proportion (%) of all births in EmOC facilitiesFigure 1 shows the division-wise distribution of the

proportion of all births which took place in EmOC facilities

during January to June 2011. It reveals that the proportion

(%) was the highest in Khulna division (24.47%) and the

lowest in Chittagong division (16.29%). It appears that the

institutional delivery rates stand high in the UN process

indicator norm in all divisions. The institutional delivery

rates in Rangpur, Rajshahi, Dhaka, Barisal, and Sylhet

divisions were between 16.64% and 24.30%. The average

for Bangladesh was 20.16%.

Met need (%) for EmOCFigure 2 shows the division-wise distribution of obstetric

complications treatment rate (% of need met) in different

EmOC facilities during January to June 2011. The rate was

the highest in Khulna division (73.26%) and the lowest in

Chittagong division (39.76%). The position of Dhaka

division (67.13%) and Barisal division (65.66%) was

second and third respectively with respect to performance.

Other divisions met between 59.31% and 43.16% of the

need respectively. The Bangladesh average was 57.06%.

Proportion (%) of all births in EmOC facilitiesFigure 5 compares the proportion (%) of all births that took

place in EmOC facilities in different divisions of Bangladesh

between year 2009, 2010, and 2011. Performance in January

to June 2011 clearly shows substantial improvement over the

previous two years, because the number of births in EmOC

facilities has increased in all divisions (Table-6, point 3).

Met need (%) for EmOCFigure 6 compares the met need (%) of EmOC in different

divisions of Bangladesh between year 2009, 2010, and

2011. The country average of performance in January to

June 2011 was better compared to the previous two

years.

Caesarean section as % of all births Figure 3 shows the division-wise distribution of the

caesarean section rates as percentage of all births that

took place in the EmOC facilities during January to June

2011. It is one of the important indicators for monitoring

access to critical EmOC services. It is revealed that the

highest rate of caesarean births was in Khulna division

(10.59%), followed by Dhaka division (10.30%). The lowest

rate was in Sylhet division (6.13%). The caesarean section

rates varied from division to division. In other divisions, the

rates were as follows: Barisal (9.80%), Rangpur (8.18%),

Rajshahi (6.60%) and Chittagong (6.16%). The country

average was 8.49%, UN process indicator, point 5 in Table-

6, is thus been achieved.

Case Fatality RateThe direct obstetric case fatality rate is the proportion of

women who die before discharge, after being admitted to an

EmOC facility with major direct obstetric complications or who

develop such complications after admission. Case Fatality

Rate (CFR) gives rough indication of quality of EmOC

services. CFR, among women in Bangladesh, who came with

obstetric complications to EmOC facilities, was 0.57 in January

to June 2011 (Figure 4). It is within the acceptable limit of <1%

as per UN process indicators. CFR was the highest in Rangpur

division (0.96%), which was in the acceptable limit. The lowest

CFR was found in Khulna division (0.35%). CFRs in other

divisions were as follows: Barisal (0.78%), Sylhet (0.78%),

Chittagong (0.68%), Rajshahi (0.65%), and Dhaka (0.42%).

Key findingsIn all divisions, the proportion of all births that took place in

2011 was above the acceptable norm of UN process

indicators (Table-6). This means that the women who

needed life-saving obstetric care came to the health

facilities to receive the services (Figure 1).

In Chittagong, Rajshahi and Rangpur divisions, the

met need (%) indicates lack of utilization of the

facilities/less referral by the community during the

pregnancy-related complications (Figure 2).

Nationally-visible increase in institutional delivery rates

was found in 2011 compared to 2010 (Figure 5).

The country average of performance during January to

June 2011 was better with respect to met need (%) for

EmOC compared to the previous two years, although

in Sylhet division, the performance went a bit lower

compared to that in year 2010 (Figure 6).

The rates of caesarean sections during January to

June 2011 were more in all divisions compared to year

2009 and 2010 rates (Figure 7).

In some divisions, namely Barisal, Khulna, Rangpur,

and Sylhet, the case fatality rate was seen to improve,

whereas in Dhaka division, the situation deteriorated in

2011 than in 2010. The reason should be investigated

by the EmOC program (Figure 8).

Limitation about the data sourceThe MIS-Health receives data from inadequate number of

private sources (NGOs and private hospitals or clinics),

although the coverage by public facilities is satisfactory.

This limitation needs to be considered during evaluation of

the report.

RecommendationThe reproductive health program and others concerned

should explore the reasons for and solutions to the key

findings mentioned in this report.

ConclusionObstetric care-seeking behavior of women in Bangladesh

is improving as revealed from the increasing rate of

institutional deliveries in the EmOC facilities. There is

uneven distribution of service qualities in EmOC facilities

among divisions of Bangladesh. The country average of

case fatality rates in the EmOC facilities has been found to

decrease in 2011 compared to 2010, which indicates

substantial progress in EmOC.

Caesarean section as % of all births in EmOC facilities Figure 7 compares the caesarean sections as % of all

births in EmOC facilities in different divisions of

Bangladesh in 2009, 2010, and 2011. The rates of

caesarean sections in January to June 2011 were more in

all divisions compared to same period in 2009 and 2010.

Case Fatality Rate (%) in EmOC facilities Figure 8 compares the case fatality rates in EmOC

facilities in different divisions of Bangladesh between year

2009, 2010, and 2011. The country average of case fatality

rate appears to be a little higher in January to June 2011

than in same period of 2009. In some divisions, namely

Khulna and Rajshahi, the situation showed improvement,

whereas in other divisions, namely Chittagong, Dhaka,

Rangpur, and Sylhet, the situation deteriorated in 2010

than in 2009. In Barisal division, the situation remained

unchanged in 2010 compared to 2009. The reason should

be investigated by the EmOC program.
