Overview
No Progress Without Quality: Country-Led Strategies to Improve Maternal, Newborn, Child and Adolescent Health, and Family Planning Outcomes
High-quality health systems could prevent one million newborn deaths and half of all maternal deaths. In low-resource settings, poor quality of care is a bigger obstacle to improving health outcomes than lack of access to care. Yet, amid an ongoing pandemic, it is more difficult than ever for stretched health systems to provide safe, quality health care. To meet the needs of all women and children, country and global stakeholders must rally to improve quality of care at scale across maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health, and family planning services.
