Indicator 21: Was the cleanliness of the labour and birth rooms adequate
Gold standard care is defined as women feeling that the cleanliness of the labour and birth rooms does not need improvement.
We asked: “Were there any aspects of the room for labour and birth that needed improvement” Women were asked to select
the aspects of the labour and birth rooms they felt needed improvement from a list including ‘cleanliness’. Women could also
indicate that nothing needed improvement.
The graph displays the percentage of women who did not say that the cleanliness of the labour and birth rooms needed
improvement.
