In southern Tanzania, uptake of health facility births is high at 80%. Paradoxically, maternal and newborn mortality also remain high. These mortality rates are attributed to the poor quality of maternal and newborn health services. This one-page brochure details the role of the quality improvement for maternal and newborn health at district scale (QUADS2) intervention in improving maternal and newborn care. QUADS has helped to improve the level of understanding of key maternal and newborn health issues in each study district.
