  • Community-based maternal and perinatal death surveillance and response

    Open AccessMarco Mary, Hannah Tappis et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025

    CB-MPDSR offers insights into important systemic and cultural factors contributing to mortality within crisis-affected settings. Our results call for more research investment in understanding how to effectively adapt CB-MPDSR and development of operational guidance to assist humanitarian actors in introducing or bolstering CB-MPDSR approaches, so as to support a system reflective of complex realities faced by these diverse and mobile communities

  • Constrained optimization

    Open AccessRobert J Montgomery, Elaine Scudder et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2025

    Investment in community health worker (CHW) programs has allowed health systems to reach previously underserved rural and remote populations. As a result, CHWs are often burdened with responsibilities to deliver large packages of services, at times without sufficient human, financial, or health resources. To design a community-level program that saves maternal and newborn lives while operating within resource limitations, we used constrained opti…

  • Implementation of maternal and perinatal death surveillance and response and related death review interventions in humanitarian settings

    Open AccessMarco Mary, Meighan Mary et al.ARTICLEJournal of Global Health2024

    Background: The global population impacted by humanitarian crises continues to break records each year, leaving strained and fractured health systems reliant upon humanitarian assistance in more than 60 countries. Yet little is known about implementation of maternal and perinatal death surveillance and response (MPDSR) within crisis-affected contexts. This scoping review aimed to synthesise evidence on the implementation of MPDSR and related deat…

  • Complexities of implementing Maternal and Perinatal Death Surveillance and Response in crisis-affected contexts

    Open AccessMarco Mary, Hannah Tappis et al.ARTICLEConflict and Health2024

    The unique contextual considerations of humanitarian settings call for a customized approach to implementing MPDSR that best serves the immediate needs of the crisis, aligns with stakeholder priorities, and supports health workers and humanitarian responders in providing care to the most vulnerable populations

  • Maternal and newborn health for the urban poor

    Open AccessShanon McNab, Elaine Scudder et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2022

  • Implementation of maternal and perinatal death surveillance and response (MPDSR) in humanitarian settings

    Open AccessNeal Russell, Hannah Tappis et al.ARTICLEConflict and Health2022

    Despite the challenges, examples exist where the lessons learnt from MPDSR processes have led to improved access and quality of care in humanitarian contexts, including successful advocacy. An adapted approach is required to ensure feasibility, with varying implementation being possible in different phases of crises. There is a need for guidance on MPDSR in humanitarian contexts, and for greater documentation and learning from experiences

  • An analytic perspective of a mixed methods study during humanitarian crises in South Sudan

    Open AccessSamira Sami, Ribka Amsalu et al.ARTICLEConflict and Health2021

    The case analysis provides lessons that are applicable to other humanitarian settings including the need for flexible research methods, budgets and timelines; innovative training and supervision; and a local research team with careful consideration of sociopolitical factors that impact their access and safety. Engagement of national and local stakeholders can ensure health services and data collection continue and findings translate to public hea…

  • Women, children and adolescents in conflict countries

    Open AccessNadia Akseer, James Wright et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2020

    Introduction: Conflict adversely impacts health and health systems, yet its effect on health inequalities, particularly for women and children, has not been systematically studied. We examined wealth, education and urban/rural residence inequalities for child mortality and essential reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health interventions between conflict and non-conflict low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). Methods: We carried o…

  • You have to take action

    Open AccessSamira Sami, Kate Kerber et al.ARTICLEReproductive Health Matters2017Referências: 19

    Highest rates of neonatal mortality occur in countries that have recently experienced conflict. International Medical Corps implemented a package of newborn interventions in June 2016, based on the Newborn health in humanitarian settings: field guide, targeting community- and facility-based health workers in displaced person camps in South Sudan. We describe health workers' knowledge and attitudes toward newborn health interventions, before and a…
