Final report of the Maternal and Child Survival Program (MCSP) review of the availability of key data elements in HMIS community and facility recording forms, registers and routine reporting forms in 24 United States Agency for International Development (USAID) priority maternal and child health countries.

The goal of this review was to help determine whether countries are currently positioned to calculate service utilization, health outcome, and quality of care measures for child health and nutrition services, including recommended global indicators, by systematically documenting key child health and nutrition data elements found in HMIS documents at community and primary facility levels in the USAID priority maternal and child health countries.

This review complements other MCSP reviews of maternal and newborn data and family planning data in national HMIS.
