The PartoMa project works closely with health providers and pregnant women in busy, low-resource maternity units to co-create interventions for safe and respectful care. Thereby, the PartoMa project responds to gaps in clinical management, which are partly caused by lack of underlying evidence and partly by lack of translation between established medical evidence and clinical practice. In other words, we work on:
- Identifying and filling central gaps in our physiological understanding of pregnancy and childbirth.
- Generating in-depth contextual knowledge on the status and underlying drivers of current childbirth care in busy, low-resource settings.
- Strengthening the translation of current medical knowledge to improve births for mothers and babies where most needed.
Since 2014, this has led to co-creation and implementation of integrated, simple and locally achievable clinical guidelines for childbirth care and associated training. Our pilot intervention study from Zanzibar, Tanzania suggested significant improvements in quality of care and survival during birth. Since then, we have commenced bigger scale-up projects in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, Northern Tanzania and Ethiopia. Furthermore, a major new PartoMa branch is our Co-Creating Antenatal Care (CC-ANC) project. CC-ANC moves PartoMa from childbirth to a broader focus on reproductive health and rights, from a positive pregnancy test till after birth.
In particular, the PartoMa project focuses on childbirth care in urban, low-resource settings. In 2030, the majority of the world’s births occur in urban areas, and a growing ‘urban disadvantage' is reported in several low- and middle-income countries, with poorer outcomes in cities. Though still scarcely researched, these adverse outcomes appear mainly due to urban poverty, lack of basic infrastructure and over-congested health facilities.
The PartoMa team consists of researchers from Tanzania, Ethiopia, Denmark and the Netherlands.
