The Network for Improving Quality of Care for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health (Quality of Care Network) works to ensure that every pregnant woman and newborn receives good quality care throughout pregnancy, childbirth and the postnatal period It aims to halve maternal and newborn deaths and stillbirths in health facilities within five years and improve patients’ experience of care in the participating countries. Launched in February 2017, the Quality of Care Network is led by countries that are already taking leadership to improve quality of care in health services: Bangladesh, Côte d’Ivoire, Ethiopia, Ghana, India, Malawi, Nigeria, Tanzania, and Uganda.
It is widely acknowledged that the SDGs and in particular universal health coverage cannot be achieved without access to quality essential health services. Quality of care for mothers, newborns and children is a critical component of the local health service equation. Indeed, local health services are uniquely placed to ensure the provision of quality care to prevent maternal and newborn mortality, as well as to reduce avoidable morbidity and improve experience of care.
The webinar will provide an overview of the MNCH Quality of Care Network as well as highlight the potential pathfinder role of quality MNCH in wider efforts to enhance the quality of health services within the context of UHC. Specific country examples of change drivers will be examined with a focus on how MNCH can act as a pathfinder to progress towards people-centred services. Finally, the webinar examines how lessons learned from early work of the network can be cascaded to inform further work on quality at the national, regional and global level.
