Summary 

The Salud Mesoamérica Initiative (SMI) focuses on reducing inequalities in maternal and child health in Mesoamerica. This dataset is the product of an SMI impact evaluation. It includes results of a baseline health facility survey conducted in two provincial-level regions in Panama: Emberá-Wounaan and Guna Yala. In total, 38 facilities were surveyed. These represent facilities that provide ambulatory-, basic-, and complete-level Essential Obstetric and Neonatal Care (EONC) services. Surveyors collected data through interviews with facility personnel and direct observation. They recorded information on general facility characteristics, infrastructure, staff, supplies, equipment, and the availability of key maternal and child health care services. They also performed medical record reviews, extracting data on record-keeping, family planning, treatment practices related to uncomplicated births and medical complications experienced by mothers or infants during delivery, and child medical services.

Summary 

The Salud Mesoamérica Initiative (SMI) focuses on reducing inequalities in maternal and child health in Mesoamerica. This dataset is the product of an SMI impact evaluation. It includes results of a baseline health facility survey conducted in nine departments in Honduras. In total, 90 facilities were surveyed. These represent facilities that provide ambulatory-, basic-, and complete-level Essential Obstetric and Neonatal Care (EONC) services. Surveyors collected data through interviews with facility personnel and direct observation. They recorded information on general facility characteristics, infrastructure, staff, supplies, equipment, and the availability of key maternal and child health care services. They also performed medical record reviews, extracting retrospective data on record-keeping, family planning, treatment practices related to uncomplicated births and medical complications experienced by mothers or infants during delivery, and child medical services.

Summary 

The Salud Mesoamérica Initiative (SMI) focuses on reducing inequalities in maternal and child health in Mesoamerica. This dataset is the product of an SMI impact evaluation. It includes results of a baseline household census and baseline household survey conducted in two provincial-level indigenous regions, or comarcas, in Panama: Emberá-Wounaan and Guna Yala. The census captured basic demographic characteristics of all usual household occupants and was used to produce a sample of households containing eligible women (ages 15-49) and children (ages 0-59 months) for the household survey. In the household survey, any household heads and all eligible women were interviewed. Information was collected on additional demographic characteristics; healthcare use, access, and expenditures; and perceived quality of key interventions for women of reproductive age and children. Height, weight, and anemia measurements were taken for children under age 5.

Despite substantial improvements in health in the last decade, disparities remain entrenched in Mesoamerica, which spans El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Belize, Costa Rica, Panama, and Southern Mexico. In these areas, vulnerable groups such as poor, indigenous, and rural populations have considerably worse health outcomes than the national or regional averages. Inequalities in maternal, child, and neonatal health between and within countries are sizeable across the region.

To reduce these disparities and work toward attaining the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in Mesoamerica, the Salud Mesoamérica Initiative (SMI) was formed. It is a public-private partnership including the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Carlos Slim Health Institute, Spain’s Cooperation Agency for International Development, the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), and the Ministries of Health in the eight participating Mesoamerican countries. The Initiative focuses on improving maternal and child health by increasing coverage of immunizations, reproductive services, maternal care, and child health services among the poorest 20% of the population.

IHME supports the Initiative by assessing the impact of SMI interventions. The data IHME collects and analyzes, in collaboration with IDB, capture changes in the key maternal and child health indicators targeted by SMI. Survey instruments are specifically tailored to each indicator and country. These surveys include health facility and household surveys. The health facility surveys includes a questionnaire, direct observation, and medical record review. The household surveys include a census to sample households from, a household-level interview, and women and children specific interviews.

Not only do these data and analyses expose how SMI activities are making a difference, the timely provision of this information allows SMI to adjust programs and plans to be more effective. The results feed into the decisions of governments and other Initiative partners on where and how to invest in health systems. Armed with this targeted information, stakeholders can enact evidence-based measures to promote use of health services, improve access to and quality of care, and reduce inequalities in health outcomes.
