Detailed indicator definitions included in online supplementary appendix 1.
*Facilities were considered to have readiness for BEmONC-1 signal functions if they had ever performed the signal function and had the required equipment available (antibiotics—injectable antibiotics; oxytocin—injectable uterotonic; anticonvulsants—magnesium sulfate; removal of retained products—manual vacuum aspirator or dilation and curettage kit; neonatal resuscitation—bag and mask). No equipment requirement for definition of manual removal of placenta. Facilities were considered to have readiness for blood transfusion and caesarean section if they reported providing them.
†Data necessary to calculate indicators not collected from health huts.
BEmONC, basic emergency obstetric and newborn care; CEmONC, comprehensive obstetric and newborn care.
