MADANI partner PDNA Bulukumba will use the social autopsy tool to complement the medical autopsy, exploring the social causes of a mortality and providing additional evidence to frontline agencies and policymakers for improvements. On 28-29 June 2022, experts from MADANI and MPHD provided a training to PDNA Bulukumba, local CSOs, midwives, and the Bulukumba Public Hospital, which focused on techniques to facilitate and organize interviews and focus group discussions using the MADANI human-centered design approach.
