PROJECT
Review of Selected Service Delivery Models to Reduce Maternal Mortality and Improve Neonatal and Child Health
Through extensive literature review, this project (formally titled "Health Systems, Maternal Mortality, Neonatal Mortality, and Child Health: Review of Selected Service Delivery Models") is examining service-delivery models particularly responsible for reductions in maternal mortality and improvements in neonatal and child health in five selected developing countries: Bangladesh, Cambodia, Ghana, Pakistan, and Tanzania. The goal is to assist policy planners in improving these health services and ultimately strengthening the national health systems.
Researchers are reviewing documents on successful and replicable health service delivery models to improve maternal and child health in the selected countries. As part of the process, individual resource persons in the selected countries have been identified to prepare country papers. The authors of these country papers have been provided with general guidelines so that similar topics are covered by all papers. In addition, a wide collection of published materials (e.g., journal articles, books, written reports, doctoral and master's theses, unpublished conference papers, and working papers) will be carefully examined. Field visits will be undertaken to collect additional information. The lessons learned and findings of the country case studies will be compiled in a report and disseminated among the policy planners of developing countries to improve services to reduce maternal, infant, and child mortality.
