Delivery care by trained medical personnel is low in rural areas of Nepal. Local participation in improving health services and greater interaction between health systems and communities in the demand for health services. Significant improvements in delivery care by trained medical personnel can mobilize the community of local women's groups and strengthening of health systems management committee may be affected. We test a mobilizing effect on the community attended by women's groups, health and strengthen the management committee in institutional deliveries and home deliveries by trained health personnel in Makwanpur District.Designluster controlled study with 43 study groups of the Village Development Committee. 21 groups that received the intervention group and 22 serve as control areas. In the areas of intervention, women health volunteers in the community to support the call for the monthly women's groups.


Groups are working through an action research cycle in which they are considered institutional barriers to care delivery, planning and implementation of strategies to overcome these barriers, to assess their communities and their progress. Health committees of management to explore three-day workshop with Appreciative Inquiry methods and plan ways to improve the health of mothers and newborns to participate. Follow-up meetings are held quarterly to review progress. The primary endpoints are institutional deliveries and home deliveries conducted by trained health personnel. The secondary endpoints include the inclusion of pre-and post-natal, infant and maternal mortality and stillbirth rates morbidity.The Millennium Development Goals 4 and 5 of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) target for reducing child mortality and maternal mortality. Recent data suggest that only 23 of the 81 countries are on track, the maternal mortality ratio progression was reduced towards MDG 4 is also very good, with only 16 of the 68 countries on track interviews, meet targets under five years reduction of mortality [2]. Ensuring skilled attendance at a safe delivery is an important strategy to increase the survival of the newborn and the mother [3]. In the poorest countries, most deaths occur from mothers and newborns in the home, many women give birth without skilled health personnel and access to quality health care is limited. Research is needed to eliminate evidence-based decisions about the obstacles to seeking a blanket coverage, and improved health care through a potentially cost-effective, sustainable and scalable


Community mobilization for the mobilization of strategies to improve health outcomes has been popularized by the motion of the primary health care [4]. The renewed interest in this approach has led researchers and policy makers to seek impact assessments, so that decisions based on evidence [5]. There are different models of community mobilization. Some members of the community to participate as passive recipients of a program, such as EPI, and others seek the active participation of target groups [6].



Participatory approaches cycle of action are often used to mobilize the community. The approach is problem focused, and the cycle of people coming together to develop an understanding of the problem and its causes. This group continues to work closely with other stakeholders to resolve the problem and initiate social change. The measures taken are then critical analysis and the cycle continues through the iteration [7,8]. A study in Bolivia, Warmi project provided some evidence that increasing the participation of municipalities in a health project for mothers and newborns could be health outcomes [9,10] to improve. Our research collaboration between a woman from Nepal and research activities for children (MIRA) and University College London (UCL) of the present method and conducted a randomized, controlled trial to assess its impact on neonatal mortality [11,12].
