-
The necessity of multistakeholder partnerships. A host of demand- and supply-side interventions are required to meaningfully address maternal and neonatal mortality—leveraging the comparative strengths of a diverse set of stakeholders working in close collaboration will make success more likely.
-
Program evaluation should be viewed not only as a tool to assess impact of interventions, but to inform program design. This approach requires flexibility on the part of donors to adapt the program’s design and a willingness to stay the course and invest longer-term.
-
The presence of health services does not automatically translate to high-quality and accessible services. Quality of care can be furthered by a supportive work environment, including ongoing mentorship of health care providers. Access can be strengthened by addressing the barriers women face in reaching a health facility and ensuring they are treated respectfully.
-
Sustainability cannot be an afterthought. Long-term sustainability requires centering government plans and priorities; strengthening the existing public health care system; and advocacy to ensures prioritization and funding.

-
EmONC signal functions are being updated in line with advances in maternal and newborn health, including proposals for newborn signal functions.
-
Standards for Improving the Quality of Care for Small and Sick Newborns in Health Facilities (2020) includes measures for tracking SSNC, some that can be measured in routine health information systems now.
-
More than 120 countries are expected to complete the ENAP/EPMM tracking tool (February 2023). This includes self-reported progress toward ENAP target 4 (80% of districts with level 2 SSNC services) and EPMM target 4 (80% of women within two hours travel time of an EmOC facility).
-
Few countries have up-to-date assessments due to cost and expertise required for EmOC assessments. In 2017, 21/83 “Countdown countries” reported data for EmONC availability. In 2022, only 12 countries were measuring geographic access of population within two hours of travel time. The United Nations Population Fund is developing an EmOC Lite tool.
-
The SSNC United Nations Children’s Fund/NEST360 health facility assessment tool can measure if a facility is operational for World Health Organization level 2 SSNC and takes a day to implement. This tool is open source and has been used in more than 100 facilities in six countries so far.
-
Improved and simplified tools for assessing EmONC and SSNC availability with modeling for geographical access.
-
Strengthened measures of experience of care.
-
Increased use of routine health information systems for assessing the availability, quality, and access to EmONC with individually linked data.

Based on the United Nations Children’s Fund data warehouse, the number of countries with available household survey data in 2016–2021 was 90 for ANC 4+, 162 for SBA, 81 for maternal PNC, and 75 for newborn PNC.
-
Population representative measures of ANC 4+, SBA, and PNC are collected through household surveys. Given new World Health Organization recommendations, ANC 4+ may be replaced by 8+.
-
Country-level variations in the definition of SBA present challenges for standardized and comparable measurement.
-
Measures of effective coverage for these services have been developed, but the assessment of more detailed quality of care is likely to be more accurate in routine health information systems than in surveys of maternal recall.
-
Household survey programs require continued support, especially in lower-income countries and humanitarian settings.
-
Strengthening routine health information systems is essential to ensure more data, more details on quality of care, and faster feedback for national and subnational monitoring. Implementation of global guidance on standardized definitions is key.
-
Increased investment in digital technologies with better links between data sources will improve data availability and quality.
-
Investment in data capacity and use is also crucial to drive progress toward achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.

-
What can be measured now and what is the data quality?
-
Comparability, e.g., which definitions, quality (data completeness, etc.)
-
What next?
-
Gaps in research and opportunities for innovation
-
157/195 countries for SBR (UN Inter-agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation 2023)
-
158/195 countries for LBW rate (in press)
-
103/195 countries for preterm birth rate (in press)
-
Impact indicator definitions are consistently applied for MMR, NMR, and LBW in almost all countries. SBR definition consistency has improved with the World Health Organization definition for international comparison (>28 weeks gestation). Preterm birth rate definitions are consistent but gestational age measurement methods and accuracy vary.
-
Many high mortality countries rely on household surveys for data on impact measures. Now that more than 80% of births are in facilities, coverage of facility RHISs and CRVS could be rapidly increased.
-
Improve RHIS data quantity and quality for facility births and deaths, linked to maternal and perinatal death surveillance/audits.
-
Birth registration for every facility birth.
-
Innovations to improve gestational age estimation and birthweight measurement with digital technologies for linking to individual data.
-
Investments in widely available, programmatically relevant data for use at local, district, and national levels to drive quality of care for every woman and every newborn.
