Details of World Health Organization Vacancy Position & How to Apply.

Facility-based childbirth is increasing globally and in Ghana, but high proportions of avoidable maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality still occur in facilities. A major roadblock that has been identified is suboptimal Quality of Care for mothers and newborns. It has therefore become necessary to go beyond maximizing coverages of essential interventions to ensuring quality of care to accelerate reductions in maternal and perinatal mortality and severe morbidity.

WHO together with UNICEF and other partners launched the Network for improving the Quality of Care (QoC) for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health (MNCH). The vision of the WHO-led Quality of Care Network is a future where “Every mother and newborn receives quality care throughout pregnancy, childbirth and postnatal period”. The four strategic objectives of the network are centered on Leadership, Action, Learning and Accountability. Ghana is among the 10 first wave Network countries to implement this quality improvement initiative.
