The medical technology to prevent almost all deaths from common obstetric complications includes, for example, blood transfusions, administering antibiotics, oxytocics, and anticonvulsants, assisted delivery, manual removal of placenta, removal of retained products, and cesarean section
Many of the common obstetric complications can be managed before they become emergencies, and almost all can be treated even if they do become emergencies. But the key challenge is to ensure that these interventions reach all women. Safe motherhood means ensuring that all women receive the care and opportunities they need to be safe and healthy throughout their lives and throughout pregnancy and childbirth.
One of the critical pathways to reducing maternal mortality and morbidity is assessing and improving the accessibility, utilization, and quality of services to treat complications during pregnancy and childbirth. In this regard, using the process indicators is a crucial component in monitoring progress in Emergency Obstetric and New-Born Care (EmONC) services. Specific process indicators or a shortlist of ‘signal functions’ allow assessing availability, use, and quality of emergency obstetric and neonatal care services.
UNFPA Jordan Country Office prioritizes and envisages a comprehensive EmONC needs assessment to generate evidence on the amount of basic and comprehensive EmONC services, geographic distribution and distance, quality of care, and available referral mechanism to inform health policymaking and programming.
