Restoring antenatal health services in a war-affected hospital: a quality improvement project.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Health service restoration involves reinstating all previous health service components to a facility after a period of disruption caused by war, conflict or other disasters. As defined by the WHO, antenatal care (ANC) is the care provided by skilled healthcare professionals to pregnant women and adolescent girls to ensure optimal health conditions for both mother and fetus during pregnancy. Before the restoration process, the hospital senior management team, maternal and newborn health (MNH) staff and Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) improvement advisors had discussions on how to restore ANC services. This quality improvement (QI) project aims to restore ANC service at the war-damaged hospital, Amhara region, Ethiopia.
