ALERT (Action Leveraging Evidence to reduce perinatal Mortality and morbidity in Sub-Saharan Africa)
The aim of the project is to develop and evaluate a multifaceted intervention to strengthen the implementation of evidence-based interventions and responsive care and reduce in-facility perinatal mortality and morbidity through a multidisciplinary approach in Benin, Malawi, Tanzania and Uganda.
Background :
Intrapartum care needs more attention - every day more than 7,000 women and their offspring could be saved if known evidence-based intervention were consistently implemented during the few hours surrounding birth. Hospitals care for about 40-50% of all births in Sub-Saharan Africa including complicated births.
The ALERT intervention will include four main components:
1. End-user participation through narratives of women, families and midwifery providers to ensure co-design of the intervention
2. Competency-based training
3. Quality improvement, supported by data from a clinical perinatal e-registry
4. Empowerment and leadership mentoring of maternity unit leaders complemented by district based bi-annual coordination and accountability meetings.
