Emergency Obstetric Care

Emergency Obstetric Care is an evidence-based care package designed to save lives and reduce preventable maternal and neonatal mortality and morbidity and stillbirths. However, studies show that in many low- and middle-income settings Emergency Obstetric Care is not available or only in part, distribution of health facilities able to provide Emergency Obsteric Care is geographically inequitable and the quality of Emergency Obstetric Care is often sub-standard.    

CMNH carried out multi-country assessments to map out which cadres of healthcare providers are expected to provide Skilled Birth Attendance and/or Emergency Obsetric and Early Newborn Care.
