Itis a descriptive, analytical and transversal
study such as SARA (Service Availability and
ReadinessAssessment) which took place from
January 1 to August 31, 2013. The sample consisted of health facilities in

Centers (HC), 40.5% of Primary Care Centers (PCC), 86.1% of public’s health
facilities have and 75.7% of private).Qualified personnel was available in
88.4% of health-centers. Parenteral administration of antibiotics, oxytocic and

assisted vaginal delivery, the manual removal of placenta and uterine
evacuation maneuvers were respectively found in 42.6%, 88.4% and 54.8% of
health facilities which practice birth. Neonatal resuscitation was available in
83.9% of facilities including all hospitals, 83% of HC and 47% of PCC. Only a
quarter of institutions offering delivery (25.8%) were real BEmONC centers.Cesarean
section was available in all hospitals and 3.2% HC. Blood transfusion was
available in 25.8% of health facilities surveyed. Actual CEmONC health
