Quality of antenatal care and client satisfaction in Kenya and Namibia.

Objective: Despite much progress in maternal health service coverage, the quality of care has not seen parallel improvement. This study assessed the quality of antenatal care (ANC), an entry point to the health system for many women.

Design: The study used data from recent Service Provision Assessment (SPA) surveys of nationally representative health facilities in Kenya and Namibia.

Comparison of medicine availability measurements at health facilities: evidence from Service Provision Assessment surveys in five sub-Saharan African countries.

However, few studies have systematically compared estimates of availability based on different definitions. The objective of this study was to compare estimates of medicine availability based on different definitions.
