Colleagues,

I've been reading several MIS reports for different countries, different years e.g. Zambia, Uganda, Nigeria, Mozambique etc. What i get is they all have pretty much the same questionnaires i.e. Household & Women(which includes the child health component). The women questionnaire particularly contains a section on the woman's reproduction and birth history. Reading the mannuals, these two are put there to collect data to compute the different mortality rates in children.
However, reading all these MIS reports, mortality rates results are not there.

So, help educate me here. Why is this information always collected in almost every MIS yet the reports seem not to contain the results?

Thanks
Geoffrey
