Activity TitleWeekly National Maternal and Perinatal Deaths Surveillance and Response meeting
DetailsThe group convenes weekly to discuss targeted interventions for the leading causes of maternal and perinatal mortality, sharing best practices for implementing Maternal Perinatal Death Surveillance and Response (MPDSR). The meeting offers technical input on emerging processes and issues in safe motherhood. Periodically, the session provides insights into quality improvement interventions, such as MPDSR, Comprehensive Emergency Obstetric-Newborn Care (EmONC), and Postnatal Care (PC). During this session, our focus was on reviewing progressive updates on the actions proposed during the review of maternal deaths reported at Benedict HC IV (Kampala) and Muyembe HC IV (Bulambuli) as a strategy to prevent similar cases. This was followed by a session on building strategic healthcare leadership skills for improved RMNCAH outcomes led by the WHO Uganda Country Office team.
