Abstract

The article reviews and provides key findings related to the quality improvement for maternal and newborn health at district scale (QUADS2), an intervention carried out in four districts in Mtwara, Tanzania. It provides details of how data collected using an electronic tool resulted in the improvement of maternal and newborn care services. Although significant progress has been made in the availability of information on coverage of essential services in low and middle-income countries, there is inconsistent data available on the quality of care for maternal and newborn care.
