The PROMISE study
Somaliland faces persistently high burdens of maternal and perinatal mortality, with limited population-based data on pregnancy complications, sociocultural influence on maternal and perinatal health, and women's reproductive health needs across the continuum of pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum. Also, available health materials, such as for assessing maternal near misses (MNM) or strengthening healthcare literacy, often appear unfit in the c…
Collective coping work among healthcare providers navigating the precarities of an overburdened maternity facility in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
This study examines collective coping among birth attendants, managers, and pregnant women in an overburdened urban maternity facility in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Drawing on three months of ethnographic research, including participant observations and interviews, we explore how birth attendants navigate systemic challenges in a low-resource setting. Using thematic network analysis, we found that collective coping involved modifying care practices…
‘One woman, one bed’
BACKGROUND: Respectful maternity care (RMC) is essential for quality care, safety, and a fundamental right of women during childbirth. However, mistreatment during childbirth hinders global efforts to reduce maternal and perinatal deaths and birth-related injuries. In rapidly urbanizing Dar es Salaam, disrespectful care in overcrowded maternity units is concerning. OBJECTIVE: To assess the prevalence and factors associated with women's experience…
‘ I am happy to be listened to’
BACKGROUND: Rights-based Respectful Maternity Care (RMC) is crucial for quality of care and improved birth outcomes, yet RMC measurements are rarely included in facility improvement initiatives. We aimed to (i) co-create a routine RMC measurement tool (RMC-T) for congested maternity units in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and (ii) assess the RMC-T's acceptability among women and healthcare stakeholders. METHOD: We employed a participatory approach util…
The Dilemmas and Opportunities of Co‐Creating Health Interventions to Fit Local Contexts
INTRODUCTION: Healthcare providers' role in co-creating health interventions and implementation strategies has evolved significantly, and yet, there is little documentation of this from low-resource settings. This study aims to share the dilemmas of engaging healthcare providers in co-creating locally adapted clinical guidelines for maternity facilities in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and strategies used to address them. METHODS: An ethnographic stud…
Scaling up context-tailored clinical guidelines and training to improve childbirth care in urban, low-resource maternity units in Tanzania
While facility births are increasing in many low-resource settings, quality of care often does not follow suit; maternal and perinatal mortality and morbidity remain unacceptably high. Therefore, realistic, context-tailored clinical support is crucially needed to assist birth attendants in resource-constrained realities to provide best possible evidence-based and respectful care. Our pilot study in Zanzibar suggested that co-created clinical prac…
Scaling up Locally Adapted Clinical Practice Guidelines for Improving Childbirth Care in Tanzania
Effective, low-cost clinical interventions to improve facility-based care during childbirth are critical to reduce maternal and perinatal mortality and morbidity in low-resource settings. While health interventions for low- and lower-middle-income countries are often developed and implemented top-down, needs and circumstances vary greatly across locations. Our pilot study in Zanzibar improved care through locally co-created intrapartum clinical p…
Learning from changes concurrent with implementing a complex and dynamic intervention to improve urban maternal and perinatal health in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, 2011-2019
INTRODUCTION: Rapid urbanisation in Dar es Salaam, the main commercial hub in Tanzania, has resulted in congested health facilities, poor quality care, and unacceptably high facility-based maternal and perinatal mortality. Using a participatory approach, the Dar es Salaam regional government in partnership with a non-governmental organisation, Comprehensive Community Based Rehabilitation in Tanzania, implemented a complex, dynamic intervention to…
