Enhancing malaria-in-pregnancy monitoring
Malaria in pregnancy (MiP) is a significant public health concern in high-burden malaria countries and a key predictor of high-risk pregnancies in Cameroon. One of the challenges of the National Malaria Control Programme (NMCP) in Cameroon is to generate reliable, timely, accurate and actionable data to inform decision-making, effective monitoring and planning. Discussions with the NMCP at the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) identified poor data…
Health workers’ perspectives on self-monitoring of blood pressure by pregnant women
INTRODUCTION: Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDPs) are a leading cause of maternal mortality and morbidity globally but could be mitigated through accurate and timely blood pressure (BP) monitoring. Self-monitoring of blood pressure (SMBP) in pregnancy is an emerging approach for the management of HDPs but mainly studied from the perspectives of pregnant women, in high-income contexts, or tertiary care. This qualitative study explored healt…
Understanding communication in community engagement for maternal and newborn health programmes in low- and middle-income countries
As community engagement (CE) is implemented for sustainable maternal and newborn health (MNH) programming, it is important to determine how these approaches work. Low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) have become a particular focus for MNH CE activities due to their high burden of maternal and neonatal deaths. MNH messaging and communication to engage communities are likely to differ by context, but how these approaches are actually developed …
Community mobilization to strengthen support for appropriate and timely use of antenatal and postnatal care
BACKGROUND: Antenatal care (ANC) and postnatal care (PNC) are critical opportunities for women, babies and parents/families to receive quality care and support from health services. Community-based interventions may improve the accessibility, availability, and acceptance of this vital care. For example, community mobilization strategies have been used to involve and collaborate with women, families and communities to improve maternal and newborn …
WHO recommendations on antenatal nutrition
Optimal maternal nutrition, including adequate intake of essential vitamins and minerals, is important for fetal development and longer term impacts on the child’s health. Although pregnant women are considered to be at increased risk of micronutrient deficiencies due to increased maternal and fetal nutritional needs, there is some debate around how best to achieve an optimal diet with adequate and balanced intakes of the necessary nutrients duri…
