USAID’s MaMoni Maternal and Newborn Care Strengthening Project (MaMoni MNCSP): Report on the Quality of Care Survey in MaMoni MNCSP Intervention Districts

To prevent unwanted maternal and neonatal deaths, every pregnant woman and newborn needs skilled care during pregnancy, at the time of birth, and immediately after birth. Several factors contribute to high maternal and neonatal mortality and morbidity, including underutilization of services and inconsistent implementation of high-impact, evidence-based interventions at facility level. Poor quality of care (QoC) not only contributes to maternal and neonatal mortality, but also derails the use of the healthcare services. This document summarizes the results of a study conducted by USAID’s MaMoni Maternal and Newborn Care Strengthening Project (MaMoni MNCSP) in Bangladesh to evaluate QoC progress made in project area public health facilities at the end of the project term.
