Language: French

Médecine et Santé Tropicales has published an article co-authored by MCHIP entitled “Qualité des soins pour prévenir et traiter l’hémorragie du postpartum et la pré-éclampsie/éclampsie : une évaluation fondée sur l’observation dans les hôpitaux de Madagascar.” (The title in English is: “Quality of care to prevent and treat postpartum hemorrhage and pre-eclampsia/eclampsia: an observational assessment in Madagascar’s hospitals.”)

To guide the quality improvement processes at health facilities in Madagascar, this study assessed the quality of care at facilities with respect to interventions addressing the main causes of maternal and newborn complications, with a focus on postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) and pre-eclampia/eclampsia (PE/E). The study looked at 36 health facilities with high volume of deliveries by conducting inventories of medications and material, interviews with 139 health providers, and observations of 323 antenatal consultations and 347 labor and delivery clients.
