Pocket Guide for Effective Maternal Death Audit
Résumé
Maternal death audits are a key quality improvement strategy for reduction and prevention of maternal deaths. Every maternal death has to be audited according to the World Health Organisation. Many countries have adopted auditing every maternal death policy. Despite these audits, maternal deaths continue to occur especially in low to middle income countries. This manual was developed in an effort to improve the quality of maternal death audits and ensure that they are effective as learning experiences not merely rituals performed after a maternal death. The development of the manual used mixed method of expert opinion from quality experts and literature review.
