Piloting exercise: Evaluation of the impact of the ‘Solar Suitcase’ installation in healthcare facilities in Uganda on quality of care during labor and delivery and reliability of electricity.
REFNo: HS150ES
By conducting the pilot, we seek to gain a greater understanding of the nature of electricity reliability and deliveries in rural health facilities. The main objectives of the pilot include:
1) Obtain data on volume of deliveries, electricity failures, and baseline measures of quality of maternity care in order to run accurate power calculations for the upcoming research study
2) Test survey tools in the local context and refine the questions to gather data required for the upcoming research study
3) Test and validate light sensor equipment
4) Observe quality of work of field staff of various backgrounds to determine which qualifications and prior experience are best placed to collect data for the upcoming research study
