  1. Improving the Quality of EmONC Services through Intensive Mentorship – The MCHIP Approach Saving Mothers, Giving Life Endeavor 1 November, 2012

  2. Mentorship Design • Trained team of 16 Mansa District mentors in: • Mentoring skills • IRH Supervisory Tool & EmONC Skills Checklists • Anatomic models to guide on-site clinical simulations • Data collection and support • Reporting • Team of 2-3 mentors visiting every delivering facility on a monthly basis • Hold Quarterly Recognition/Clinical Update Meetings with staff representatives of all facilities

  3. Impact of mentorship • Immediate & sustained application of skills learned during EmONC training • Improved provider confidence and morale • HCs now managing complications which previously were referred (e.g., manual removal of placenta, MVA) • Improved outcomes for pregnant women • Reduced pressure on emergency transport systems and referral facilities

  4. Impact (cont’d) • Increased use of the partograph (0.06% to 15%) • Improved documentation in service delivery registers • AMTSL applied in 85% of deliveries, even with 3-fold increase in number of facility deliveries since October 2011.

  5. Best Practices • Strong leadership and ownership by Mansa DHO • Involvement and collaboration of many district partners – DHO, PHO, Mansa GH, ZPCT II, ZISSP and UNFPA • Use of anatomic models for on-site clinical simulations
