THE SELF-ASSESSMENT TOOL
The tool includes questions on basic information about the hospital and on supporting mothers to breastfeed. The tool provides an objective scoring to help in identification of the hospital to be eligible for the ‘external assessment’.
(Only the hospital that has applied for the accreditation and paid first instalment. For your convenience you can download here to study the contents of assessment and can access this assessment process on the portal/tool).
THE EXTERNAL ASSESSMENT TOOL
The tool has 7 different questionnaires for interviews of administrator, health care providers and mothers and a checklist for observation of breastfeeding practices, implementation of the IMS Act and competency of the nursing staff to support a breastfeeding mother.
