Strengthening Essential Obstetric and Neonatal Care

Strengthening Essential Obstetric and Neonatal Care is an initiative promoted by the CARE International Organization in 2014 that aimed to strengthen institutional and community capacities to prevent maternal and neonatal deaths in the first level of health care in the localities of Tabacundo and Carapungo. This is done through the implementation of essential obstetric and neonatal care networks and the implementation of family and community childbirth and emergency plans. The project was carried out together with the Health districts of Zonal Coordination 2 and 9 of the Ministry of Public Health and it involved 1000 pregnant women and their respective children.

Formalization: is the innovation embedded in the constitution or legislation, in an administrative act, or not formalized at all?

Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?

Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?

Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
