Summary

This study tests whether a package of coaching, feedback, and mentorship can help hospital teams in Kenya better review and respond to maternal and newborn deaths. Twenty facilities will take part, with half receiving the extra support. Researchers will measure if the approach improves how completely deaths are reviewed and whether it leads to fewer deaths.
