Supervision
GHS identified a staff person to coordinate the implementation of the assessment. This person was responsible for recruiting the data collectors, organizing and managing the field work, ensuring adequate logistics and transportation planning, determining the routes the teams would take to visit facilities, managing and oversight of data collection teams in the field, and communication with data collection teams and health facilities to ensure access to facilities. The GHS issued a letter to all public and private facilities requesting their support in the national EmONC assessment. Field work began immediately after data collector training.
