•Note: Assessment of intervention done at healthcare facility level
•1\. Districts for the intervention were identified by the National Department of Heath because of poor health outcomes measured by institutional maternal mortality ration and district level stillbirth rate (within RSA). This is an externally\-driven selection and is not representative of all regions in the Republic of South Africa. The final number of eligible districts is 12
•2\. Within the identified districts, all healthcare facilities designated to provide emergency obstetric and newborn care services as basic (BEmOC) and comprehensive (CEmOC) level in the districts to be included in the study (staff invited for training). The total number of such facilities identified is 136
•3\. Ultimate inclusion in the study based on ability to provide necessary data for monitoring the results of the intervention. The total number of such facilities is 133\. (Other facilities meeting the first two criteria are eligible for inclusion in the training but not the measurement of effectiveness)

•1\. Facilities in non\-selected districts
•2\. Facilities not designated to provide emergency obstetric and newborn care services as basic (BEmOC) or comprehensive (CEmOC) level
•3\. Facilities unable to provide data for assessing results of the intervention (this is only a criterion for inclusion in the facility\-based assessment and does not exclude staff in those facilities being included in training)
