Innovative approaches for improving maternal and newborn health - A landscape analysis

Abstract: BackgroundEssential interventions can improve maternal and newborn health (MNH) outcomes in low- and middle-income countries, but their implementation has been challenging. Innovative MNH approaches have the potential to accelerate progress and to lead to better health outcomes for women and newborns, but their added value to health systems remains incompletely understood. This study’s aim was to analyze the landscape of innovative MNH approaches and related published evidence.MethodsSystematic literature revi… Show more

“…Firstly, in line with the regime's social welfare approach to health care, on 26 th May 2009, it introduced its first-ever free maternal, newborn and child health (MNCH) and the victims of accidents. Since its introduction in 2009, the free MNCH policy has remained a health priority intervention of this regime with focus on achieving MDG goals numbers 4 and 5 expected to show greater pathway towards reducing maternal and neonatal deaths (Lunze et al, 2015;Ntambue et al, 2016: Yeji et al, 2015. Through this special intervention targeting 2015, the goals were to reduce infant mortality rates by 90%, child mortality rates by 90%, maternal mortality rates by 60%, undernutrition among children by 30% and prevalence of communicable diseases (polio, malaria, Tuberculosis, etc) by 75% (YBSG, 2010:24-43; YOSERA III:69).…”

“…However, there is limited quantitative research on the effect of SMS interventions via cell phone on maternal and child health outcomes [11][12][13]. Recent systematic reviews assessing the effect of mHealth interventions on improving maternal and neonatal care and health discussed more than ten intervention studies in this field and showed that mHealth interventions targeting pregnant women can increase maternal and neonatal service utilization [14][15][16]. Only one study showed an improvement in morbidity or mortality, specifically decreased risk of perinatal death in children of mothers who received SMS support during pregnancy, compared with routine prenatal care.…”
