EQUIP Project News Clip

Описание: MakSPH's EQUIP project inspires women, attracts media
Our work continues to attract media attention. In this news clip NTV Uganda recently covered a field visit to communities in Mayuge District where the School of Public Health is implementing the EQUIP (Expanded Quality Management using information Power) project. EQUIP is an intervention study utilising a quasi experimental design to improve Maternal and Newborn Care through use of Quality Improvement methods. The key intervention is use of Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycles at district, health facility and community level. In Mayuge, Quality improvement teams formed at the district, health facility and community levels are guided in using problem-solving Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycles to overcome local obstacles concerning Maternal and Newborn health care issues. EQUIP unlocks the innovative potential of quality improvement teams to develop, test and implement strategies to improve maternal and newborn health. Results are expected to contribute in accelerating the achievement of the MDGs 4&5 in Uganda.

However, alongside the Quality Improvement intervention is continuous surveys and health facility census' in both intervention and control districts to generate high quality data.
