Approaches, barriers, and facilitators to and strategies for normalizing the provision of ultrasound scanning by midwives in the antenatal clinic
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that a pregnant woman get an ultrasound scan (USS) as part of routine antenatal care. The Scale-up and normalization of ultrasound scanning still lag in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC), including Malawi. This study assessed barriers, facilitators, and strategies for scaling up and enhancing the normalization of ultrasound scanning during pregnancy in Malawi.MethodWe conducted one qualitative …
Avoidable factors associated with maternal death from postpartum haemorrhage
Background Despite strong evidence-based strategies for prevention and management, global efforts to reduce deaths from postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) have failed, and it remains the leading cause of maternal mortality. We conducted a detailed review of all maternal deaths from 33 facilities in Malawi to identify health system weaknesses leading to deaths from PPH. Methods Data were collected regarding every maternal death occurring across all dist…
Acceptability of self-sampling for high-risk HPV DNA testing for primary cervical cancer screening among women in Thyolo, Malawi
Despite the roll-out of cervical cancer screening within routine health facilities, uptake of cervical cancer screening in Malawi remains low due to factors such as privacy concerns, stigma, and distance to health facility. Self-sampling for human papillomavirus (HPV) testing offers a viable alternative to provider-delivered sampling, resolving issues with accessibility and privacy related barriers. However, there is limited understanding of the …
Using maternal sepsis patient journeys to map and prioritise barriers to quality maternal healthcare in Malawi
BACKGROUND: Malawi has made progress in improving access to maternity care services, shifting the focus to quality of care as an essential determinant of maternal health outcomes. However, no effective mechanisms exist to use patients' experiences of care at health facilities to inform and improve the quality of maternal healthcare. OBJECTIVE: To use maternal sepsis patient journeys in a workshop with maternal health stakeholders to identify and …
Maternal mortality following caesarean section in a low-resource setting
BACKGROUND: Caesarean section (CS) is the most common major surgery conducted globally, with rates rising. CS also contributes to maternal morbidity and mortality, with increased risks in low-resource settings. We conducted a detailed review of maternal deaths from 2020 to 2022 in Malawi to determine the burden of deaths related to CS, avoidable health system factors, and causes of death associated with this procedure. METHODS: Data were collecte…
Cyclone Freddy and its impact on maternal health service utilisation
Climate change poses a significant threat to women’s health in sub-Saharan Africa , yet the impact of climate change on maternal health is rarely reported in the region . Using an existing Maternal Surveillance Platform (MATSurvey) , we estimated the immediate impact of Cyclone Freddy on maternal health care service indicators in Malawi . We analysed facility-level data for pregnant women up to 42 weeks post-partum using the national MATSurvey da…
