A Multi-Country Analysis of Service Provision Assessment Data

Improving the quality of maternal and newborn health (MNH) services is crucial for addressing maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. Governments, donors, and partners have prioritized efforts to enhance different components of quality of care (QoC), including efficacy, safety, people-centeredness, timeliness, equity, integration, and efficiency. Both the public and private sectors play significant roles in delivering MNH services, but there is limited evidence on how facilities from these sectors adhere to World Health Organization (WHO) standards for QoC.

This analysis, conducted under the Data for Impact (D4I) award, leverages Service Provision Assessment (SPA) data from 2012–2022 to evaluate the adherence of MNH service providers to WHO process standards. The study examines differences between public and private facilities, including for-profit and not-for-profit (NFP) facilities, and tracks changes over time in selected countries.
