The Maternal and Newborn Health Improvement – Quality of Care (MANI-QC) project has supported four county health management teams (Kericho, Nandi, Kwale and Mombasa) to analyse information on maternal deaths that occurred, reviewed and uploaded between January 2019 to January 2020 to the Kenya Health Information System (KHIS)1. The objective of the analysis was to trace the last step of mothers journeys through the health system to understand the circumstances around the deaths and identify gaps in the quality of healthcare provided to mothers.
