PIP: Reducing maternal mortality has now been declared a health priority in many developing countries. Translating rhetoric into action requires inputs of scarce resources. Information plays an essential role in the planning, management and evaluation of action. In many developing countries, reliable and timely information is also a scarce resource and the short term prospects for significant improvement of the conventional sources of data on maternal mortality are not encouraging. Alternative and complementary methods for generating information are required which recognize the needs and constraints of developing countries. Indirect techniques for demographic estimation have made a considerable contribution to our knowledge of child and adult mortality in these circumstances. This paper describes a new indirect technique, the sisterhood method, for estimating maternal mortality and the results of the first 2 field trials in Gambia and Peru. (Author's).^ieng
