Sample includes all births in households taking place 15 months prior to baseline and follow-up surveys. Quality of antenatal care is an indicator of having received Voluntary Counseling and Testing for HIV, tetanus vaccination and malaria prevention during antenatal care. Health services index is constructed through factor analysis containing indicators that the cluster health facility offers obstetric care, ANC, carries tetanus vaccines, offers VCT, malaria tests, pregnancy test, family planning and has a mobile clinic. All models control for additional socioeconomic characteristics found in Table AII including a vector of cluster level prices.
