Global Monitoring Platform for Maternal and Newborn Health

A new, multi-country initiative to conduct research, raise awareness and improve quality of intrapartum and early postnatal care in health facilities.

The Global Monitoring Platform in Maternal and Newborn Health aims to establish and sustain a multi-country network of health facilities providing childbirth services to measure and improve the quality of intrapartum and early postnatal care.

2023–2025

The Platform will conduct periodic, multi-country studies on intrapartum and early postnatal care in a network of health facilities across up to 10 low to middle income countries in the Asia-Pacific region. It will ultimately extend to include approximately 60 countries worldwide.

Data collection will commence in 2023 and aims to be conducted every 3 years until and beyond 2030.  This will provide globally-representative data on intrapartum and early postnatal care in health facilities and health outcomes for the SDG era. The Platform will also support dissemination and training in evidence-based products, and drive research capacity strengthening at local and national levels.
