Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn, Child, and Adolescent Health and Nutrition (RMNCAH+N) remains a global health priority area with specific Sustainable Development Goal targets to be achieved by 2030. Zimbabwe, as part of twenty-six Sub Saharan African countries under the Countdown to 2030 consortium, participated in a multi-country analysis workshop entitled “Producing reliable national and subnational health statistics with a focus on reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health and nutrition”.

A thorough assessment of health facility data was conducted, focusing on both numerators and denominators to ensure accurate reporting. This policy brief outlines the key outputs from analyzing the five-year district health facility data together with recent national surveys and global estimates aiming to inform stakeholders about health outcomes and guide policy decisions to improve RMNCAH+N services in Zimbabwe.
