Actual (reported)Family-led Postnatal Care-FPNC A midwife involves families and uses a visual checklist to assess and counsel. The midwife then gives families the checklist along with information on how to retrieve a "homecare kit" that has a blood pressure machine, infrared thermometer, and health education booklet. At home, families assess the health of postnatal mothers and newborns for 6 days, and then return the completed checklist and homecare kit to the community location. A community health worker collects the checklists monthly. This study aims to assess the acceptability and feasibility of the FPNC and assess if FPNC increases the proportion of women/newborns who have a postnatal check in the first week after delivery and the proportion who seek care from a health provider when a postnatal danger sign is identified. The study will take approximately 12 months.

Actual (reported)Change in coverage (Mothers)
Between pre-intervention (for approximately 8 weeks) and immediately after the intervention (for approximately 8 weeks), the investigators will measure the change in the proportion of postnatal women who have all three postnatal checks (within 1st day, 2nd-3rd days, and 4th-7th days).
