The Maternal and Newborn Improvement Quality of Care 2-year project achievements

The MANI-QC project is working with the Ministry of Health and other development partners to improve the quality of health services and maternal and newborn outcomes for mothers and babies in Nandi, Kericho, Mombasa and Kwale Counties. The project interventions are anchored in a targeted health system strengthening approach to improve the quality of Emergency Obstetric and Neonatal Care (EmONC) service delivery. This is done by using evidence gathered from the Kenya Health Information System (KHIS) and mobile-based EmOMC readiness Assesment Tool – Quality of Institutional Care (QuIC) tool, strengthening Maternal, Perinatal Death Surveillance and Response systems and capacity building of service providers on the provision of quality EmONC services.
