Innovations in Maternal Health

Innovations in Maternal Health presents a compilation of twenty-three innovations in different aspects of Maternal and Newborn Health. These innovations have been written in case-study style for teaching, which will be beneficial for capacity building of health-care professionals. These descriptive cases cover innovative programmes, initiatives and technologies and are complemented by documentary films provided in the accompanying DVD. The book takes us on a boat ride through the rarely travelled riverine areas of the Majuli Islands of Assam and the Sunderbans in West Bengal to the state of Tamil Nadu, which is known for its constant endeavours to improve its health-care system, considered one of the best in the country. Technological innovations to address hypothermia in newborns and buy time in cases of postpartum haemorrhage in low-resource settings have been documented in detail. The book hopes to encourage readers to analytically view the need for innovations, the reasons behind their success and the need for information sharing for better utilization of existing knowledge.  INDICE: ForewordIntroductionI: HEALTH SYSTEM FOR MATERNAL AND NEWBORN CARE (ACCESS; QUALITY; AVAILABILITY; AFFORDABILITY) Access to Healthcare Services in Remote AreasShips of Hope: Mobile Boat Clinics in the Riverine Areas of Assam (C-NES) - Radhika AroraThe Three-tier Outreach Model for Hard to Reach Areas: The Sunderbans - Sourav Neogi Behaviour Change CommunicationsInnovation in Behaviour Change Communication: The RACHNA Project - Raj Mohan Panda and Sourav Neogi Financial Access to Healthcare ServicesIncreasing financial and physical Access for Service Delivery: Sambhav Voucher Scheme - Sourav Neogi Healthcare InfrastructureLifeSpring Hospital - Madhavi MisraMerrygold Health Network - Madhavi Misra Human ResourcesAddressing issues of Human Resources and Quality of Care: The Yashoda - Radhika Arora Quality Initiatives in Healthcare ServicesQuality Assurance Programmes (QAP) in Public Health Facilities - Sanghita Bhattacharya and Radhika Arora Referral TransportEmergency referral transport: The GVK-EMRI Model Raj - Mohan Panda and Sourav NeogiLow-cost referral transport: The Janani Express - Sourav NeogiII: ADDRESSING DIRECT CAUSES OF MORTALITY Newborn Care (Hypothermia)Warmth for newborns: The Embrace Infant Warmer - Madhavi Misra Postpartum Hemorrhage (PPH)Use of Non-pneumatic Anti-shock Garment (NASG): The Raksha Project - Madhavi MisraIII: INTERVENTIONS WHICH INDIRECTLY IMPACT MATERNAL HEALTH Family PlanningPromoting change in Reproductive Behaviour: Prachar - Sanghita Bhattacharya and Radhika Arora Community-based Inter-sectoral Interventions in HealthThe Silver Lining: Community-led Initiatives in Child Survival (CLICS) - Radhika AroraCommunity for Care: Comprehensive Rural Healthcare Projects (CRHP) - Radhika Arora Youth Reproductive and Sexual HealthGrowing up Healthy: Anwesha Clinics, Friends Clinic, and Safdarjung Hospital Adolescent Health Network (SHAHN) - Radhika AroraIV: ACCOUNTABILITY OF PROGRAMMES Monitoring and EvaluationCollection of Evidence through Randomized Control Trial Setting: Ekjut Trial - Sutapa B Neogi and Sourav NeogiPutting Evident into Action: Maternal Death Audit/Review - Sutapa B Neogi and Sourav Neogi Social Accountability InitiativesPromoting Social Accountability for Safe Motherhood: White Ribbon Alliance India - Raj Mohan Panda and Sourav NeogiV: SUCCESSFUL ORGANIZATIONS AS INNOVATION ENGINES State FeatureInnovative Approaches in Maternal and Newborn Care: Tamil Nadu Health System - Sourav Neogi and Madhavi Misra Organization FeatureUsing Science and Technology for Care: Action Research and Training for Health (ARTH) - Madhavi MisraIndex
