Abstract:
When launching the Quality of Care Network in February 2017, the country’s leading it - Bangladesh,
Ethiopia, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, India, Malawi, Nigeria, Tanzania and Uganda, joined in 2018 by Sierra
Leone - committed to halving the number of maternal and newborn deaths and stillbirths in participating
health facilities by 2022 and to improve the experience of care. Under the leadership of their Ministries of
Health, with the support of a broad coalition of partners and of WHO, UNICEF and UNFPA, the Quality
of Care Network supports the implementation of national strategies for quality of care in the health sector
by using maternal, newborn and child health as a pathfinder.
