A comparative cross-sectional midline evaluation survey in 25 selected Woredas was conducted to obtain midline information on the overall status of health facilities in order to evaluate the effect of maternal and newborn health care service intervention. Data was collected using a pretested structured questionnaire, key informant interview guide, and record review, and data analysis were done using SPSS statistical software packages.
