dc.description.abstractThe paper evaluates the quality of neonatal care in three district hospitals and one primary health centre in southern Malawi. It reports on limitations and lessons-learned using the WHO integrated quality of care assessment tool. Results reveal that quality of care requires improvement, particularly for sick and vulnerable newborns, and that the WHO assessment tool is helpful in examining the complex quality of care challenges at the district level. Facility assessments are one aspect of the study “Integrating a neonatal healthcare package for Malawi” which is part of the larger project “Innovating for Maternal and Child Health in Africa (IMCHA)” initiative.en
