Private sector quality interventions to improve maternal and newborn health in low- and middle-income countries
Introduction: The private health sector provides significant maternal and newborn health (MNH) services in mixed healthcare systems in many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), making it an essential partner in achieving universal health coverage (UHC). Although some studies have mapped the private sector's activities in MNH care in LMICs, limited knowledge exists about specific quality of care interventions. This scoping review addresses th…
Engaging the private sector to deliver quality maternal and newborn health services for universal health coverage
The private health sector is becoming increasingly important in discussions on improving the quality of care for maternal and newborn health (MNH). Yet information rarely addresses what engaging the private sector for MNH means and how to do it. In 2019, the Network for Improving Quality of Care for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health (the Network) initiated exploratory research to better understand how to ensure that the private sector delivers q…
National learning systems to sustain and scale up delivery of quality healthcare
All around the world, health systems fail to provide good quality of care (QoC). By developing learning systems, health systems are able to better identify good practices and to explain how to sustain and scale these good practices. To facilitate the operationalisation of national learning systems, the Network for Improving Quality of Care for Maternal Newborn and Child Health (the Network) developed a conceptual framework for national learning s…
Implementation of the new WHO antenatal care model for a positive pregnancy experience
Monitoring the implementation and impact of routine antenatal care (ANC), as described in the new World Health Organization (WHO) ANC model, requires indicators that go beyond the previously used global benchmark indicator of four or more ANC visits. To enable consistent monitoring of ANC content and care processes and to provide guidance to countries and health facilities, WHO developed an ANC monitoring framework. This framework builds on a con…
Health insurance and care-seeking behaviours of female migrants in Accra, Ghana
People working in Ghana's informal sector have low rates of enrolment in the publicly funded National Health Insurance Scheme. Informal sector workers, including migrant girls and women from northern Ghana working as head porters (kayayei), report challenges obtaining insurance and seeking formal health care. This article analyses how health insurance status affects kayayei migrants' care-seeking behaviours. This mixed-methods study involved surv…
Contemporary female migration in Ghana
Knowledge of female migration patterns is scant despite increased recognition and reporting of the feminization of migration. Recent data on female internal migration in Ghana challenges historical assumptions that underestimated female migration
Collecting data from migrants in Ghana
Policymakers and program implementers require high-quality data on migrants and migration in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC); however, a shortage of high-quality data exists in these settings. Sampling migrant populations requires better techniques
Effectiveness of interventions to provide culturally appropriate maternity care in increasing uptake of skilled maternity care
