Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
* Does the new modular training package enhance the competencies of skilled birth attendants?
* Does the competencies of skilled birth attendants relates to improving maternal and neonatal health outcomes in Nepal?
* Is this training module a cost-effective intervention?
Participants' knowledge, attitude, and skills will be assessed and it will be compared with standard training groups: Researchers will compare the competencies of birth attendants who receive modular training versus standard training to see if an increment in competencies is associated with maternal and neonatal health outcomes.

Skill birth attendants who trained on new modular training package
Maternal and child health service providers (skilled birth attendants) will be trained using modular training that covers both theory and practical sessions on midwifery skills.
Auxiliary nurse midwives should complete modules 1, 2, and 3 whereas nurses will get modules 1, 2, 3, and 4.
The training will be implemented in National Health Training Center-accredited training sites/ hospitals.
Skill birth attendant training
It is an intervention targeted to enhance the competencies of Maternal Neonatal Health (MNH) service providers (skilled birth attendants) in Nepal. It is a capacity-building intervention that is expected to contribute to reducing maternal and neonatal morbidities and mortalities by improving the midwifery competencies (knowledge, attitudes, and skills) of MNH service providers.
Skill birth attendants who trained on existing standard training package
Maternal and child health service providers (auxiliary nurse midwives and nurses) get training based on the existing standard skilled birth attendant training curriculum of Nepal. This is a two-month-long integrated skill birth attendant package implemented in National Health Training Center-accredited training sites.
The midwifery competencies of these service providers will be assessed and compared with the competencies of experimental groups.
