  • Do global health networks facilitate innovation, learning and sharing? A qualitative analysis of the Quality-of-Care Network in Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Malawi, and Uganda

    Open AccessKondwani Mwandira, Seblewengel Lemma et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    The Quality-of-Care Network (QCN), launched by WHO and partners, links global and national actors across several countries to improve maternal and newborn health. We conducted a prospective qualitative study to examine how QCN in Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Malawi and Uganda facilitated learning, sharing, and innovation within and between network countries. We conducted 227 key informant interviews with QCN actors at global, national, and facility leve…

  • How to evaluate a multi-country implementation-focused network

    Open AccessGloria Seruwagi, Mike English et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Learning about how to evaluate implementation-focused networks is important as they become more commonly used. This research evaluated the emergence, legitimacy and effectiveness of a multi-country Quality of Care Network (QCN) aiming to improve maternal, newborn and child health (MNCH) outcomes. We examined the QCN global level, national and local level interfaces in four case study countries. This paper presents the evaluation team’s reflection…

  • Effectiveness of a multi-country implementation-focused network on quality of care

    Open AccessNehla Djellouli, Yusra Ribhi Shawar et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    The Network for Improving Quality of Care for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health (QCN) aims to work through learning, action, leadership and accountability. We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of QCN in these four areas at the global level and in four QCN countries: Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Malawi and Uganda. This mixed method evaluation comprised 2–4 iterative rounds of data collection between 2019–2022, involving stakeholder interviews, hospita…

  • Factors shaping network emergence

    Open AccessYusra Ribhi Shawar, Nehla Djellouli et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    The Quality-of-Care Network (QCN) was conceptualized by the World Health Organization (WHO) and other global partners to facilitate learning on and improve quality of care for maternal and newborn health within and across low and middle-income countries. However, there was significant variance in the speed and extent to which QCN formed in the involved countries. This paper investigates the factors that shaped QCN’s differential emergence in Bang…

  • Innovate! Accelerate! Evaluate! Harnessing the RE-AIM framework to examine the global dissemination of parenting resources during Covid-19 to more than 210 million people

    Open AccessJ M Lachman, Nisso Nurova et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2024

    This study highlights the importance of a) establishing an international collaboration to rapidly adapt and disseminate evidence-based content into easily accessible resources that are relevant to the needs of parents; b) creating open-source and agile delivery models that are responsive to local contexts and receptive to further adaptation; and c) using the best methods available to evaluate a rapidly deployed global emergency response in real-t…

  • Influences on policy-formulation, decision-making, organisation and management for maternal, newborn and child health in Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Malawi and Uganda

    Open AccessKohenour Akter, Yusra Ribhi Shawar et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    The Network for Improving Quality of Care for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health (QCN) is intended to facilitate learning, action, leadership and accountability for improving quality of care in member countries. This requires legitimacy—a network’s right to exert power within national contexts. This is reflected, for example, in a government’s buy-in and perceived ownership of the work of the network. During 2019–2022 we conducted iterative round…

  • Individual, organizational and system circumstances, and the functioning of a multi-country implementation-focused network for maternal, newborn and child health

    Open AccessAnene Tesfa, Catherine Nakidde et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Better policies, investments, and programs are needed to improve the integration and quality of maternal, newborn, and child health services. Previously, partnerships and collaborations that involved multiple countries with a unified aim have been observed to yield positive results. Since 2017, the WHO and partners have hosted the Quality of Care Network [QCN], a multi-country implementation network focused on improving maternal, neonatal, and ch…

  • Individual interactions in a multi-country implementation-focused quality of care network for maternal, newborn and child health

    Open AccessFidele Kanyimbu Mukinda, Nehla Djellouli et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    The Network for Improving Quality of Care for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health (QCN) was established to build a cross-country platform for joint-learning around quality improvement implementation approaches to reduce mortality. This paper describes and explores the structure of the QCN in four countries and at global level. Using Social Network Analysis (SNA), this cross-sectional study maps the QCN networks at global level and in four countrie…

  • Opportunities to sustain a multi-country quality of care network

    Open AccessSeblewengel Lemma, Callie Daniels-Howell et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    The Quality of Care Network (QCN) is a global initiative that was established in 2017 under the leadership of WHO in 11 low-and- middle income countries to improve maternal, newborn, and child health. The vision was that the Quality of Care Network would be embedded within member countries and continued beyond the initial implementation period: that the Network would be sustained. This paper investigated the experience of actions taken to sustain…

  • Uptake of HIV testing among 15–19-year-old adolescents in Zambia

    Kasonde Mwaba, Jenevieve Mannell et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2020

    Adolescent HIV testing rates remain low with many unaware of their status. We explored factors associated with HIV testing uptake among adolescents aged 15-19 years using data from the Zambian Demographic Health Survey 2013-2014. The sample consisted of 7030 adolescents of which 42% reported ever testing for HIV. We found that as the age of a respondent increased so did their odds of testing (aOR = 1.26; 1.21-1.32); females had higher odds of tes…
