  • A global analysis of the determinants of maternal health and transitions in maternal mortality

    Open AccessJuliano P Souza, João Paulo Souza et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet Global Health2024

    The reduction of maternal mortality and the promotion of maternal health and wellbeing are complex tasks. This Series paper analyses the distal and proximal determinants of maternal health, as well as the exposures, risk factors, and micro-correlates related to maternal mortality. This paper also examines the relationship between these determinants and the gradual shift over time from a pattern of high maternal mortality to a pattern of low mater…

  • Maternal death surveillance and response system reports from 32 low-middle income countries, 2011–2020

    Open AccessLillian Whiting-Collins, Florina Serbanescu et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Maternal Death Surveillance and Response (MDSR) systems generate information that may aid efforts to end preventable maternal deaths. Many countries report MDSR data, but comparability over time and across settings has not been studied. We reviewed MDSR reports from low-and-middle income countries (LMICs) to examine core content and identify how surveillance data and data dissemination could be improved to guide recommendations and actions. We co…

  • Identifying Profiles of Support for Legal Abortion Services in Zambia

    Open AccessJoseph G Rosen, M T Mbizvo et al.ARTICLEStudies in Family Planning2024References: 44

    Relative to neighboring countries, Zambia has among the most progressive abortion policies, but numerous sociopolitical constraints inhibit knowledge of pregnancy termination rights and access to safe abortion services. Multistage cluster sampling was used to randomly select 1,486 women aged 15–44 years from households in three provinces. We used latent class analysis (LCA) to partition women into discrete groups based on patterns of endorsed sup…

  • National, regional, and global estimates of preterm birth in 2020, with trends from 2010

    Open AccessEric O Ohuma, Ann‐Beth Moller et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2023

    BACKGROUND: Preterm birth is the leading cause of neonatal mortality and is associated with long-term physical, neurodevelopmental, and socioeconomic effects. This study updated national preterm birth rates and trends, plus novel estimates by gestational age subgroups, to inform progress towards global health goals and targets, and aimed to update country, regional, and global estimates of preterm birth for 2020 in addition to trends between 2010…

  • Maternal mortality decline in Zimbabwe, 2007/2008 to 2018/2019

    Open AccessReuben Musarandega, Jenny A Cresswell et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2022

    BACKGROUND: Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3.1 target is to reduce the global maternal mortality ratio (MMR) to less than 70 maternal deaths per 100 000 live births by 2030. In the Ending Preventable Maternal Mortality strategy, a supplementary target was added, that no country has an MMR above 140 by 2030. We conducted two cross-sectional reproductive age mortality surveys to analyse changes in Zimbabwe's MMR between 2007-2008 and 2018-2019 …

  • A new approach to assess the capability of health facilities to provide clinical care for sexual violence against women

    Open AccessMardieh Dennis, Mardieh L Dennis et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2019Cited by: 1References: 19

    Several tools have been developed to collect information on health facility preparedness to provide sexual violence response services; however, little guidance exists on how this information can be used to better understand which functions a facility can perform. Our study therefore aims to propose a set of signal functions that provide a framework for monitoring the availability of clinical sexual violence services. To illustrate the potential i…

  • Cost and impact of policies to remove and reduce fees for obstetric care in Benin, Burkina Faso, Mali and Morocco

    Open AccessOn behalf of the FEMHealth team, Sophie Witter et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal for Equity…2016

    We conclude that the policies were effective in meeting financial protection goals and probably health and equity goals, at sustainable cost, but that a range of measures could increase their effectiveness and equity. These include broadening the exempted package (especially for those countries which focused on caesarean sections alone), better calibrated payments, clearer information on policies, better stewardship of the local health system to …
