Challenges to recording and reporting of uptake of intermittent preventive treatment in pregnancy at facility level in Uganda

This poster presented at the Third Global Symposium on Health Systems Research in Cape Town on 30 September to 03 October 2014 discusses a study on the challenges to recording and reporting uptake of intermittent preventive treatment in pregnancy (IPTp).

Through in-depth interviews and a data and record review at four health facilities in Uganda, the study finds that health workers perceive data recording and reporting as a routine part of their work
and believe facility-level data to be generally accurate. However, a document and record review revealed widespread inaccuracies with regard to antenatal care and IPTp indicators at facility level.
