A recent report authored by maternal and newborn health experts at the University of California, San Francisco analyzes the relational aspects of the Networks of Care (NOC) framework for Maternal and Newborn Health (MNH), as these components distinguish NOCs from other frameworks aimed at strengthening health systems and enhancing the quality of care. Understanding these elements is crucial for developing practical tools that countries, still grappling with the optimal service delivery model for improving maternal and newborn health, can use to implement an NOC approach, including both structural and relational elements. The report is supported by USAID’s Global Health Bureau through the HEARD Project. Link: https://lnkd.in/gxXmB_47

HIGH Horizons, alongside the World Health Organization, has developed a conceptual framework for #ExtremeHeat and maternal, newborn and child health (MNCH). The conceptual framework aims to depict the direct (pathophysiological mechanisms) and indirect (individual, community and health services) pathways through which heat exposure can lead to adverse maternal, newborn and child health (MNCH) outcomes. The framework is intended to provide a broad understanding of extreme heat and MNCH. Find out more and download the framework👇 https://lnkd.in/e-_QrxeD

Most maternal deaths do not occur in the hospital, but after discharge, postpartum to one year. And there are equity challenges; Black women die at three times the rate of white women from birth-related complications. In this conversation, Veronica Gillispie-Bell, M.D., OB-GYN at Ochsner Health, discusses successful strategies to reduce maternal morbidity after childbirth, and how these solutions should always start with equity at the forefront. https://lnkd.in/gM8F6pac #healthequity #maternaldeaths
