Success in the implementation of maternal and newborn health interventions at the country level has been generally attributed to three main interlinked factors: leadership and management, resources, and end-user-related factors.
In Tanzania, a project popularly known as “MamaToto” (mother-baby) is building local capacity to improve maternal, newborn, and child health (MNCH).
Progress in maternal, newborn, and child health (MNCH) outcomes in low-income countries has been slow.
Access to the means of preventing unwanted pregnancies and unsafe abortions is critical for averting maternal and newborn deaths and disease.
This project aims to address Tanzania's critical need for reducing maternal and newborn deaths.
This project will address high maternal and newborn mortality in Tanzania by adapting and implementing a maternal and newborn health intervention approach that follows the MamaToto process.
One woman dies in childbirth in Tanzania every hour.
This project will provide evidence for how systems-wide quality improvements can enhance maternal and newborn health outcomes at the district, health facility, and community levels in Tanzania.
In Tanzania, the maternal mortality rate of 454 deaths per 100,000 live births means that every hour, another woman dies in childbirth.
