NIHR Global Health Research Group on Improving Quality of Maternal Healthcare in Africa
A majority of maternal deaths occur in Sub-Saharan Africa, and nearly all are preventable with good quality healthcare. Both Malawi and Zambia are fully committed to improve maternal and neonatal health outcomes, but are not making adequate progress.
This new programme of work will build upon the collaboration formed by the NIHR DIPLOMATIC research group.
High quality maternal and neonatal health data is key for quality improvement. We will provide real-time digital reporting of maternal deaths, near-miss cases, and quality of care data, accessible via online dashboards. This will be used to identify critical improvement needs and measure progress.
We will link facility and community Demographic Health Surveillance System sites to understand the gaps in facility data.
