Readiness to Provide Neonatal Care Services in 208 Ethiopian Hospitals Prior to Implementation of the Saving Little Lives Program
Introduction: Despite improved health service accessibility, neonatal mortality in Ethiopia remains high at 33 per 1000 live births. Thus, improving health facilities’ readiness across infrastructure, basic amenities, equipment, medications, laboratory services, Kangaroo Mother Care, infection prevention and control, staffing, and guidelines availability is critical for improving the quality of neonatal care and survival. Objective: The aim of th…
Saving Little Lives Minimum Care Package Interventions in 290 Public Health Facilities in Ethiopia
A non-randomized stepped-wedge trial will be conducted to evaluate the impact of implementing the SLL MCP interventions. Quantitative evaluation data will be collected from 36 primary hospitals, selected from 206 primary hospitals across four regions, receiving the interventions. An independent evaluation research assistant will be deployed in each of the hospitals to collect data using Open Data Kit (ODK) through interviewing mothers before disc…
Civilian family members’ deaths and perceived causes in war-torn Tigray, Ethiopia
Civilian family members' death report in this study is high. Large family size, widowed marital status, not displacing from home, having a disabled member of the family, and rural residences were the identified factors associated with civilian's death. In the context of the cessation of hostilities following the Pretoria Peace Agreement, sustained efforts from the government, humanitarian organizations, and the international community are essenti…
Is Women’s Engagement in Women’s Development Groups Associated with Enhanced Utilization of Maternal and Neonatal Health Services? A Cross-Sectional Study in Ethiopia
There is a need to improve the organization and management of the Women Development Group program as well as a need to strengthen the Women Development Group leaders' engagement in group activities to promote the utilization of maternal and neonatal health services
If I Was Educated, I Would Call the Ambulance and Give Birth at the Health Facility”—A Qualitative Exploratory Study of Inequities in the Utilization of Maternal, Newborn, and Child Health Services in…
In earlier studies, we have shown that the utilization of maternal health services in rural Ethiopia was distributed in a pro-rich fashion, while the coverage of child immunization was equitably distributed. Hence, this study aimed to explore mothers' and primary healthcare workers' perceptions of inequities in maternal, newborn, and child health services in rural Ethiopia, along with the factors that could influence such differentials. A qualita…
Wealth and Education Inequities in Maternal and Child Health Services Utilization in Rural Ethiopia
As part of the 2030 maternal and child health targets, Ethiopia strives for universal and equitable use of health services. We aimed to examine the association between household wealth, maternal education, and the interplay between these in utilization of maternal and child health services. Data emanating from the evaluation of the Optimizing of Health Extension Program intervention. Women in the reproductive age of 15 to 49 years and children ag…
Scaling up Kangaroo Mother Care in Ethiopia and India
OBJECTIVES: Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC), prolonged skin-to-skin care of the low birth weight baby with the mother plus exclusive breastfeeding reduces neonatal mortality. Global KMC coverage is low. This study was conducted to develop and evaluate context-adapted implementation models to achieve improved coverage. DESIGN: This study used mixed-methods applying implementation science to develop an adaptable strategy to improve implementation. Forma…
Small and sick newborn care during the Covid-19 pandemic
INTRODUCTION: The COVID-19 pandemic is disrupting health systems globally. Maternity care disruptions have been surveyed, but not those related to vulnerable small newborns. We aimed to survey reported disruptions to small and sick newborn care worldwide and undertake thematic analysis of healthcare providers' experiences and proposed mitigation strategies. METHODS: Using a widely disseminated online survey in three languages, we reached out to n…
Embed capacity development within all global health research
box • All countries, including low- and middle-income countries, need robust health research capacity • The research capacity gap between global North and South is closing too slowly, and governments, funders, and academic institutions are not investing sufficiently to bridge this chasm • With two examples from collaborative research projects in sub-Saharan Africa, we illustrate how capacity development can be an integrated part of a joint resear…
Lived Experiences and Perceptions of Childbirth among Pastoralist Women in North-Eastern Ethiopia
Maternity should be a time of hope and joy. However, for women in pastoralist communities in Ethiopia, the reality of motherhood is often grim. This problem is creating striking disparities of skilled birth uptake among the agrarian and pastoral communities in Ethiopia. So far, the depth and effects of the problem are not well understood. This study is intended to fill this research gap by exploring mothers' lived experiences and perceptions duri…
Women’s development group leaders’ promotion of maternal, neonatal and child health care in Ethiopia
BACKGROUND: Women's development group leaders are volunteer community health workers in Ethiopia who, among other duties, promote health and prevention of diseases. They link and extend essential health services from health posts to households. OBJECTIVE: To assess the characteristics, knowledge, and practice of women's development group leaders in the field of maternal, neonatal, and child health care. METHOD: This study used a cluster-sampled c…
Wealth-based equity in maternal, neonatal, and child health services utilization
Utilization of maternal health services was low, inequitable, and skewed against women from the poorest households. In contrast, preventive child health services were equitably distributed. Efforts to increase utilization and reinforcement of pro-poor and pro-rural strategies for maternal, newborn and immunization services in Ethiopia should be strengthened
Mothers’ experience of disrespect and abuse during maternity care in northern Ethiopia
BACKGROUND: The provision of respectful and satisfactory maternity care is essential for promoting timely care-seeking behaviour, and ultimately ensuring the health and well-being of mothers and their babies. Disrespectful and abusive care has been recognized as one of the barriers to seeking timely maternity health services. However, the issue has not been adequately researched in community settings in low- and middle-income countries using vali…
Determinants of repeated abortion among women of reproductive age attending health facilities in Northern Ethiopia
This study identified several factors correlated with women having repeat abortions. It may be helpful for the Government of Ethiopia to encourage women to delay sexual debut and decrease their number of sexual partners, including by promoting discussion within families about sexuality, to decrease the occurrence of repeated abortion
