Maternal and newborn services in Jordan: Rapid Health Facility Assessment

To determine the capacity of health facilities to provide obstetric and neonatal care, and access the quality of care, researchers at Jordan University of Science and Technology conducted a  rapid health facility assessment of maternal and newborn services in Jordan. The assessment was conducted to assess the quality of care provided to mothers and newborns during pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum periods. The study involved direct observations of selected hospitals and interviews with basic health staff and hospital staff, to assess and evaluate the availability of various services for mothers and newborns, availability of resources, equipment and supplies, documentation and staff training, and provision of the health care services. The knowledge product that came out of this project was a report presenting the results of this research.
