Abstract

Expanding access to facility-based delivery services and improving the functionality of emergency obstetric and neonatal care (EmONC) are important strategies toward achieving a maternal mortality ratio of 70 deaths per 100,000 live births by 2030. In this study the researchers assess signal functions at designated facilities in Nepal, using Nepal Health Facility Survey data for 2015 and 2021. The functionality of basic and comprehensive EmONC sites was low, declining over the six-year period. Lack of progress may partly be attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic. Nepal needs to expand EmONC sites strategically, strengthen referral systems, improve service readiness, and periodically assess service quality.

紧急产科和新生儿护理信号功能：2015 年至 2021 年尼泊尔医疗机构的情况。

扩大设施内分娩服务的可及性以及改善产科急诊和新生儿护理（EmONC）的功能是到 2030 年实现每 10 万活产 70 例死亡的孕产妇死亡率目标的重要战略。在这项研究中，研究人员利用 2015 年和 2021 年的尼泊尔医疗机构调查数据，对尼泊尔指定医疗机构的信号功能进行了评估。基本和综合EmONC站点的功能较低，在六年期间有所下降。缺乏进展的部分原因可能是 COVID-19 大流行。尼泊尔需要战略性地扩大EmONC站点，加强转诊系统，改善服务准备情况，并定期评估服务质量。
