Objective: A confidential enquiry was conducted to ascertain if changes had occurred in the care provided by reviewing the care given to a sample of maternal deaths before and after introduction of the policy. Method: Twenty women who died as a result of pregnancy-related complications (maternal deaths) in selected hospitals in two regions were assessed by a clinical panel, guided by a maternal death assessment form. Unlike the traditional confidential enquiry process, both adverse and favourable factors were identified. Findings: Clinical care provided before and after the introduction of the fee exemption policy did not change, though women with complications were arriving in hospital earlier after the introduction of the policy. On admission, however, they received very poor care and this, the clinical panel deduced could have resulted in many avoidable deaths; as was the case before the implementation of the policy. Consumables, basic equipment and midwifery staff for providing comprehensive emergency obstetric care were however found to be usually available. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that the already poor delivery care services women received remained unchanged after introduction of the policy.Item Improving the use of confidential enquiries into maternal deaths in developing countries(World Health Organization, 2007-01) Hussein, JuliaItem Maternal death and obstetric care audits in Nigeria : a systematic review of barriers and enabling factors in the provision of emergency care(2016-04-22) Hussein, Julia; Hirose, Atsumi; Owolabi, Oluwatoyin; Imamura, Mari; Kanguru, Lovney; Okonofua, Friday; University of Aberdeen.Other Applied Health SciencesItem Please understand when I cry out in pain : women's accounts of maternity services during labour and delivery in Ghana(2005-12-22) D'Ambruoso, Lucia; Abbey, Mercy; Hussein, Julia; University of Aberdeen.Other Applied Health Sciences; University of Aberdeen.Institute of Applied Health SciencesItem A systematic review of implementation strategies to deliver guidelines on obstetric care practice in low- and middle-income countries(2017-01) Imamura, Mari; Kanguru, Lovney; Penfold, Suzanne; Stokes, Tim; Camosso-Stefinovic, Janette; Shaw, Beth; Hussein, Julia; University of Aberdeen.Other Applied Health Sciences; University of Aberdeen.Medicine, Medical Sciences & NutritionItem Systematic review of obstetric care from a women-centered perspective in Nigeria since 2000(2017-01) Hirose, Atsumi; Owolabi, Oluwatoyin; Imamura, Mari; Okonofua, Friday; Hussein, Julia; University of Aberdeen.Other Applied Health SciencesItem Towards elimination of maternal deaths : maternal deaths surveillance and response(2013-01-02) Hounton, Sennen; de Bernis, Luc; Hussein, Julia; Graham, Wendy J; Danel, Isabella; Byass, Peter; Mason, Elizabeth M; University of Aberdeen.Other Applied Health Sciences; University of Aberdeen.Medicine, Medical Sciences & Nutrition; University of Aberdeen.Life Sciences & MedicineItem Universal reporting of maternal mortality : an achievable goal?(Elsevier, 2006) Graham, Wendy; Hussein, JuliaAbstract This paper aims to highlight the importance of aspiring to achieve universal reporting of maternal deaths as a part of taking responsibility for these avoidable tragedies. The paper first discusses the reasons for reporting maternal deaths, distinguishing between individual case notification and aggregate statistics. This is followed by a summary of the status of reporting at national and international levels, as well as major barriers and facilitators to this process. A new framework is then proposed — the REPORT framework, designed to highlight six factors essential to universal reporting. Malaysia is used to illustrate the relevance of these factors. Finally, the paper makes a Call to Action by FIGO to promote REPORT and to encourage health professionals to play their part in improving the quality of reporting on all maternal deaths — not just those directly in their care.Item Using ‘Appreciative Inquiry’ in India to improve infection control practices in maternity care : a qualitative study(2015) Sharma, Bharati; Ramani, K V; Mavalankar, Dileep; Kanguru, Lovney; Hussein, Julia; University of Aberdeen.Other Applied Health Sciences
