The modes of delivery that 'Other (specify)' stands for, offered only where the mode of delivery is #delivery-other. Closed and coded rather than free text so that a delivery recorded here can still be counted later; a free-text box returns several spellings of the same operation and no denominator. Every entry is a mode in its own right, not a reason for one.

https://fhir.slade360.co.ke/fhir/CodeSystem/special-clinic-code-system version 📦0.1.0| Code | Display | Definition |
| delivery-other-assisted-breech-extraction | Assisted breech extraction | A breech birth the attendant assists, using manoeuvres to deliver the arms and head once the buttocks and trunk have descended. Distinct from #delivery-breech, which is the mode recorded when the breech birth needed no assistance. |
| delivery-other-internal-podalic-version | Internal podalic version and breech extraction | The attendant turns the fetus to a breech lie by hand inside the uterus and delivers it by breech extraction. In practice almost always the second of twins. |
| delivery-other-vbac | Vaginal birth after caesarean | A vaginal birth in a woman whose previous delivery was by caesarean section. |
| delivery-other-twin-second-cs | Twin, second delivered by caesarean | A twin birth in which the first twin was born vaginally and the second by caesarean section. It sits here because it is the one delivery that no single mode describes. |
| delivery-other-delivered-before-arrival | Delivered before arrival | The baby was born before the mother reached the facility, so no mode was observed by the staff who received her. Where the place of delivery is also being recorded, #delivery-bba says the same thing of the place. |
| delivery-other-symphysiotomy | Symphysiotomy | Vaginal birth achieved by surgically dividing the pubic symphysis to enlarge the pelvis. |
| delivery-other-destructive-operation | Destructive operation | Vaginal delivery of a dead fetus achieved by an operation that reduces its size, such as craniotomy. |

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:
| Level | A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. In this scheme, some codes are under other codes, and imply that the code they are under also applies |
| System | The source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere) |
| Code | The code (used as the code in the resource instance) |
| Display | The display (used in the display element of a Coding). If there is no display, implementers should not simply display the code, but map the concept into their application |
| Definition | An explanation of the meaning of the concept |
