Improvement of indicators characterizing the health status of mothers. Establishment of perinatal centers throughout the Azerbaijan Republic.

Abstract

To improve maternity care services in the Republic, monitoring was conducted in three areas: antenatal, obstetric, and neonatal. As a result of identified monitoring deficiencies, districts were regionalized, and a three-tiered organizational structure for the maternal and child health protection system was introduced. Material and technical resources were strengthened at all service levels in line with healthcare reform, leading to improved quality of services during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period.
