Mama na Mtoto experience : summary

Abstract

Mama na Mtoto activities in Tanzania included meetings, equipment provision, facility upgrades, training, mentorship, and technical assistance to improve maternal, child and newborn health (MNCH). Health workers refreshed their basic emergency obstetric and newborn care skills, and received training and mentorship on data use and management. District health managers and facility supervisors participated in leadership training, oversaw facility-based improvements, and action planning initiatives. Carefully selected and integrated district, facility and community-level MNCH activities strengthen capacity and can significantly improve service quality and care-seeking over a short period of time.
