Abstract

The quality improvement for maternal and newborn health at district scale (QUADS2) intervention was carried out in four districts in southern Tanzania (2015-2020). The project was developed to increase data quality and use, promoting more active engagement of policy implementers. Using WHO Quality of Care indicators for maternal and newborn health (World Health Organization, 2019), an electronic tool was developed through which evaluation activities were conducted. Every month health workers uploaded data about their patients. This 2-page article reviews details of the project.
