Maternal and child health remains a priority in Uganda’s healthcare system. Preventable complications during pregnancy, childbirth, and early childhood continue to challenge health facilities, especially in resource-limited settings. RIHSI Uganda works with hospitals and districts to strengthen quality improvement practices that enhance maternal and child healthcare services.

The Role of Quality Improvement in MNCH

Quality improvement focuses on continuous assessment of care processes and implementation of practical solutions to improve outcomes.

Key areas include:

• Safe delivery practices
• Infection prevention and control
• Emergency obstetric care
• Newborn care services

Together, we strengthen health systems to deliver quality care and improve lives across communities.
