Dar es Salaam. A new assessment has shown a significant decline in maternal and neonatal deaths in five regions after successful implementation of a health programme that stimulated provision of improved and timely care.
Called Safer Births Bundle of Care (SBBC), the programme aimed to reduce maternal and neonatal mortality by equipping healthcare workers with essential skills using innovative clinical and training tools, training methods to address common complications during and after childbirth, and promote data use for continuous quality improvement.
