Effect of Referral Card on Neonatal Medical Care Seeking for Institutional Births in Urban Lucknow (Referral Card)
Neonatal mortality rate in Uttar Pradesh, Northern India is 53.6 per thousand, and accounts for 8% of global neonatal deaths.It has been argued that prompt and appropriate care-seeking for sick neonates can substantially reduce neonatal mortality. This pre and post intervention trial was done to assess the impact of a pictorial "Neonatal referral Card" and one-to-one counseling of mothers on the qualified medical care-seeking behavior for sick neonates in urban Lucknow.
The study hypothesis was that the counseling on danger signs along with neonatal referral card has no impact on availing services of a qualified medical practitioner by caregivers of sick neonates.
