| description |
To diagnose and treat preventable
threats to maternal and neonatal health in Sub-Saharan
Africa, a policy focus has been put on increasing coverage
rates of targeted health services. Exploiting an
experimental design, this study evaluates the impacts of an
in-kind conditional transfer intervention in Rwanda that
endowed women with gifts for receiving timely antenatal and
postnatal care, as well as for delivering in health
facilities. The analysis finds that although health centers
experienced frequent stock outs of the gifts, the rate of
women who initiated antenatal care within the first four
months of their pregnancy increased by 7.7 percent, and that
of women who received postnatal care in the 10 days
following delivery increased by 8.6 percent. No impact was
found on the rate of in-facility deliveries, which
independently sharply increased during the years of the
implementation of the program. |
