Report on the South-East Asia Regional Meeting on improving quality of care for reproductive, maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health (RMNCAH)

Abstract

A regional meeting on improving quality of care for reproductive, maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health (‎RMNCAH)‎ held from 16 to 18 December 2013 in New Delhi, India provided an opportunity to review the experiences in improving the quality of health care for mothers, newborns, children and adolescents in Member States, and share the available methodologies and tools for improving quality of care. The report outlines a structured framework and assessment tools developed consensually to establish a quality improvement (‎QI)‎ process with which the Member States could achieve the global standards of RMNCAH care in the Region and matches with the advocacy for concerted efforts to accelerate progress towards achievement of MDGs 4 and 5. This framework will be useful for partner agencies, professional associations and other national stakeholders.
