This clinical trial's primary goal is to compare birth attendants' competencies. It aims to answer the questions:
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.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Skill birth attendants who trained on new modular training package | Experimental | 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 attendants who trained on existing standard training package | Active Comparator | 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. |

| Skill birth attendant training | Behavioral | 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. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Effectiveness assessment of modular skilled birth attendant training package | The health workers who get new modular skill birth attendant training are expected to be more competent to provide midwifery services. Hence, this training is specifically targeted to improve midwifery knowledge, attitudes, and skills. | "1 year" |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Cost-benefit analysis | The associated cost (monetary value) of the new modular and standard training will be calculated and compared with the effect (maternal and neonatal death reduction). | "2 years" |
