CHNIS Maternal Newborn and Child Health Research Brief

This study was an exploration of the impact of World Vision’s package of core approaches to strengthen community systems to improve the health status of women, newborns and young children, especially the most vulnerable. The approach aimed at helping to improve access to people-centred health services as well as boost household-based counselling to increase use of those health services. The study tracked key indicators that reflect good health outcomes from adequate prenatal care to care-seeking for ill children.

The study yielded encouraging findings along with lessons on potential improvements to maternal, newborn and child health programming.
