Improving the Quality of Maternal, Newborn, and Child Health in Benin
The availability of maternal, newborn, and child health services across Benin varies significantly. The Service Availability and Readiness Assessment of 2018 showed that more than 70% facilities offer services such as family planning and preventative care for children. However, the assessment also highlights key gaps across the country, including the availability of comprehensive obstetric care, with only 7% of facilities offering these services.
To address these gaps, the US Agency for International Development (USAID) Integrated Health Services Activity (IHSA), implemented by Management Sciences for Health with its partner CERRHUD, is supporting the Ministry of Health in strengthening the skills and knowledge of health care providers to deliver quality health care services. In addition, IHSA supports regular strengthening of the health zone supervision system for health workers to ensure that the care provided meets Ministry of Health standards and is respectful, efficient, and high quality.
