Perceived effectiveness and recommendations from a childbirth quality assurance and improvement programme in India's private sector: a qualitative evaluation using the RE-AIM framework.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Previous studies have revealed inconsistent quality of care in India's private sector, where nearly one in three facility births take place. Manyata is a quality assurance and improvement programme launched in 2016 by the Federation of Obstetrics and Gynaecological Societies of India (FOGSI) that provides training, mentorship and accreditation to private maternity facilities. We aimed to understand participants' motivations for joining or not joining, the perceived value of Manyata and recommendations for sustainment and scale.

Methods

We aimed to sample 238 Manyata participants for semi-structured, in-depth interviews between February and July 2021. Participants included facility owners, nurses, FOGSI quality assessors, programme implementers and Manyata leader
