20230510T0910 20230510T1025 Africa/Johannesburg Re-visioning Emergency Obstetric and Newborn Care (EmONC): A Revised EmONC Framework and Indicator Set for the Next Two Decades

Over the past 20 years, the emergency obstetric care (EmOC) indicators and framework have been used extensively to plan and monitor EmOC services at national and subnational levels. The current framework and indicators have provided critical information to help develop data-driven approaches to reducing maternal mortality and set targets and track progress towards strengthening EmOC services. At the same time, health systems have evolved, the evidence base has expanded, and implementation lessons have been collected about what works and what remains challenging across different settings. With these developments in mind, a global initiative led by Columbia University's Averting Maternal Death and Disability program, the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), and World Health Organization (WHO) is updating, improving, and expanding the EmOC framework and indicators to better meet the needs of countries for the next 20 years. This process has been designed using principles and practices of human-centered design to ensure the indicators meet the needs of key users, particularly national and subnational planners and managers. This includes learning from countries' experiences using the emergency obstetric and newborn care (EmONC) framework and indicators and their ideas for improvement. A global modified Delphi study and in-depth studies in Senegal, Malawi, and Bangladesh using human-centered design methods generated insights on what is needed and wanted for planning and monitoring implementation. These findings were integrated into the re-visioning process. This panel will present the near final draft of the revised EmONC framework and indicators and provide an opportunity for p ...
