From June 15–18, 2026, 11 data clerks participated in a hands-on training to prepare for the upcoming endline data collection. During the training, they were introduced to the study objectives, data collection procedures, and the three data collection tools, which targeted caregivers, healthcare workers, and hospital records. A pilot data collection exercise using real hospital registers, such as the Outpatient Department (OPD) Register and cardiac logs, provided practical experience, helped identify potential challenges early, and clarified procedures to ensure smoother and more consistent data collection during the endline survey.
