This study examined the quality of nutrition services provided during antenatal care (ANC) and management of sick children younger than five years. Service delivery quality was assessed across three dimensions; structural readiness, process and outcome.

In addition, the training and knowledge relevant to nutrition service delivery of 95 healthcare providers was determined. The process of nutrition service delivery was assessed by observing 381 ANC visits and 826 sick children consultations. Satisfaction with the service was the outcome and was determined by interviewing 54...
