Tóm tắt :

In Africa, most of the causes of maternal, newborn and under-five deaths can be preventedwith the existing cost-effective interventions. However, ensuring universal access and utilization ofthe key interventions remains a challenge. Mothers and children continue to die due to the tripledelays in seeking appropriate care, reaching the health facility and receiving the appropriatemanagement at the facility.2. Lessons from maternal, newborn and child health (MNCH) services show that communityempowerment, participation and ownership of locally-based interventions are essential for increasingutilization and access to services. This calls for the involvement of the community in the planning,implementation and monitoring of community-based health services.3. Cognizant of the need to improve access to MNCH services, the WHO Regional Committeefor Africa organized a round table on safe motherhood and improving access to emergency obstetriccare for its fifty-third session in August 2003, in Johannesburg, South Africa. Participants noted theimportance of linkages between communities and health facilities to improve access to MNCH. Thiswas also underscored at the joint International Conference on Community Health held in October2006 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia Regional Committee for Africa Fifty-seventh SessionBrazzaville, Republic of Congo, 27–31 August 2007, Provisional agenda item 10
