The Mortality and Use of Health Services surveys were designed to measure
the mortality impact of the Combatting Childhood Communicable Diseases
programmes which are based on childhood vaccinations, prenatal immunization
against tetanus, home-based use of oral rehydration therapy, and
presumptive treatment of malaria. The survey design includes pretest and
post-test surveys in programme and non-programme areas. The questionnaires
are designed to collect information on use of health services and on
pregnancy histories to provide retrospective reporting of child mortality.
When combined with data from surveillance systems (particularly information
on cases of measles cases seen at clinics and health centres), these data
should provide reasonable estimates of programme impact.
