Implementing Maternal and Immunization tracking system along with GIS based coverage estimate through enhancement of OpenSRP based system at community level.
1. Background
Bangladesh’s achievement in the national Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI) is globally recognized as an example of a success story for Low-and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs). On contrary, the landscape of maternal mortality hasn’t been changed a lot over the years. According the BMMS (Bangladesh Maternal Mortality and Health Care Survey) in 2016, Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR) in Bangladesh was 196 per 100,000 live births, showing no evidence of difference from the BMMS in 2010 estimate of 194 per 100,000 live births. Key indicators on the use of maternal health service shows why MMR has’t been decreased enough for the last decades. The percentage of institutional delivery was only 53.4%, skilled attendant at delivery was 59% and women received at least one ANC visit was only 58% in 2019 survey. One innovative way to address this gap and ensure not only the quality and but the continuity of care is to connect maternal health service with child’s vaccination through individual tracking system and manage them together in an integrated way.
Though Bangladesh's routine health information system has rapidly developed into one of the world's largest deployers, an integrated individual tracking system to guarantee the continuum of care from maternal service to vaccination is absent. There have been multiple and fragmented tracking systems in pilot phase without any integrated approach. Thus, this ToR aims to develop and implement an integrated and robust individual tracking system through OpenSRP to ensure the continuum of care to improve both maternal and newborn health.
With OpenSRP system, pregnant women will be registered by the community health providers either at point of the household visits or their routine facility visits. Once they are registered, a unique Shared Health Record ID (SHR ID) will be created. At the same time, based on the information of their Last Menstrual Period (LMP), an automatic follow-up schedule of ANC, delivery, PNC and child’s immunization will be generated. It will enable the provider to identify the correct denominator in their respective catchment area. Following the schedule, pregnant women will be informed on the time of their next ANC, PNC, delivery and immunization through the SMS reminder sent from the system. This innovation can help ensure the continuum of necessary care provided to pregnant women and newborn and improve their awareness and practices related to health.
Though Bangladesh achieved a lot in immunization but still there are gaps in the program like equitable coverage in urban and rural, HTR and Non HTR and administrative coverage and survey coverage. We have only administrative immunization coverage for sub-block, community, ward, union and Upazila level which is based on estimated denominator or previous year’s vaccination data. There was always a big difference in administrative coverage and survey coverage in all CES. Also survey coverage only available up to District level which is also not for each year which is a major constrain to find out immunization coverage gap in specific area or community especially Hard To Reach (HTR) areas where there is possibility of untouched house hold by health worker.
The GIS based coverage estimate approach of geospatial sampling, combined with targeted surveys, can result in a more accurate denominator and immunization coverage estimate that is closest to the “true” immunization coverage of children in a specific area and can help Bangladesh to achieve equitable high coverage of maternal and immunization services.
In last decade, MoH&FW has taken various initiatives and innovations in development of health information systems under the framework of Digital Bangladesh and Vision 2021. And UNICEF has been a long-time partner of MoH&FW to support the HMIS system in Bangladesh. Through this program, HMIS in Bangladesh will be strengthened through the integrated individual tracking system. This will ultimately contribute to increase the rate of completion of ANC, institutional delivery, PNC and child’s vaccination coverage.
