Last week, @PATH representatives from our Integrated Maternal Child Health and Development, Medical Devices and Health Technologies, and Advocacy and Public Policies teams attended the International Maternal Newborn Health Conference in South Africa. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was the first time in eight years that global advocates came together – the conference theme – to learn about the progress made and align on the way forward. Needless to say, the excitement about being together was palpable and celebratory.

Maternal healthcare is in crisis. More than one-third of U.S. counties are considered maternity care deserts. The maternal mortality rate for black women is four times higher than for white women. We are joining the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) in recognizing Maternal Health Awareness Day to call attention to these access, safety and equity gaps.

🌟 Enhancing Antenatal Care (ANC) Quality for Maternal Health A recent study in Dessie Town sheds light on the critical role of high-quality ANC in ensuring positive maternal and neonatal outcomes. While 64% of surveyed women expressed satisfaction, there's room for improvement. Structural quality met 70%, and process quality, 69.56%. Urgent interventions are essential for refining both process and input quality attributes. The study identified positive predictors of satisfaction, including age, travel time, and choice of care providers.

A retrospective cohort study looks at perinatal outcomes at hospitals that participated in the Rural Surgical and Obstetrical Networks (RSON) initiative. The study took place over a five year period, comparing outcomes with those at referral hospitals and examining temporal changes in the proportion of childbearing people who resided in RSON communities and gave birth locally. Results from the study found that childbearing people who gave birth at RSON supported hospitals had a 10% lower incidence of adverse maternal newborn outcomes compared to those who gave birth at referral hospitals, after controlling for referral bias. Findings from the study provide evidence that smaller rural hospitals in British Columbia can safely support local births, and that investments in rural hospitals contribute to service stability that benefits the whole region. 🔗 Access the full article for free until March 22, 2024: https://lnkd.in/gkKhWNiu #rccbc #ruralhealthcare #maternitycare #perinatalcare #healthresearch #obstetrics
