    Open AccessIsabelle Moreira, Elizabeth Chodzaza et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    The Emergency Obstetric and Newborn Care (EmONC) Framework has been instrumental in helping countries plan and monitor maternal health services for over 20 years. Given evolving health systems, the changing expectations of both patients and health providers, and the expanded evidence base, the “Re-Visioning EmONC” project was initiated to update this framework to better meet countries’ needs. To understand the needs of its primary intended users,…

The study results informed the design and implementation of an intervention focused on training parents to improve their knowledge, skills and confidence…

  • Clients’ perceptions of the quality of post-abortion care in eight health facilities in Dakar, Senegal

    Open AccessColin Baynes, 章浩 中間 et al.ARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science2022

    Post-abortion care (PAC) integrates elements that are vital for women’s survival after abortion complications and their ability to meet their subsequent fertility intentions. Currently, the utilization of PAC among women in need remains too low, particularly in settings where unsafe abortion is an appreciable cause of maternal mortality. Interventions have aimed at addressing unmet need; however, these still require information on the extent to w…

  • Understanding the financial burden of incomplete abortion

    Open AccessColin Baynes, Mohamed Diadhiou et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2021

    Timely access to treatment is essential for women when they experience abortion complications. Out-of-pocket (OOP) expenditure is a known barrier to health care access. In 2018, we assessed the financial burden of accessing postabortion care (PAC) borne by women in Dakar, Senegal, where studies estimate that half of poor women with complications obtain PAC. We interviewed 729 women following discharge from PAC. Women reported expenditures on tran…

An evaluation of the policy was carried out in three districts in 2006, covering trends in rates of major obstetric interventions, outcomes in newborns and mothers, and the views of …

  • Ruling Out Pregnancy Among Family Planning Clients

    Open AccessJohn Stanback, Fatimata Diabate et al.ARTICLEStudies in Family Planning2005Cited by: 2References: 3

    Women in many countries are often denied vital family planning services if they are not menstruating when they present at clinics, for fear that they might be pregnant. A simple checklist based on criteria approved by the World Health Organization has been developed to help providers rule out pregnancy among such clients, but its use is not yet widespread. Researchers in Guatemala, Mali, and Senegal conducted operations research to determine whet…
