Effects of the Combined Contraceptive Vaginal Ring on Female Sexual Function: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

There are controversial debates regarding the effects of contraceptive vaginal ring devices on females' sexual function. Therefore, the meta-analysis of before-after was conducted on the intervention studies published in the past years to clarify these contradictions. The existing literature on the subject was reviewed by searching through such databases as PubMed, Scopus, ISI Web of Sciences, Embase, Cochrane Library and Google Scholar up to July 2021. Before-after intervention studies that had examined the effect of vaginal rings on females' sexual function were collected as well. In total, five studies with 369 participants were included in quantitative syntheses. Pooled results from the random-effect model showed that NuvaRing had a positive effect on females' sexual function three months after insertion (WMD: 2.48; 95% CI: 0.30, 4.67; P = 0.026); however, this effect was not significant after 6 months (WMD: 4.38; 95% CI: -4.95, 13.72; P = 0.357). Meta-regression analysis suggested that the effect of this device is associated with users' age and body mass index 3 months after insertion. No publication bias was found by Egger's test or funnel plots. Overall, the results of this meta-analysis support the view that vaginal ring use is associated with a positive effect on the sexual function of women 3 months after insertion, while the effect of this device on the sexual function of women was insignificant after 6 months. However, given the dearth of available data, it is not possible to reach a definite conclusion on the effect of vaginal rings on females' sexual function.

Death-stricken survivor mother: the lived experience of near miss mothers.

BACKGROUND: A Near Miss Mother (NMM) who survives life-threatening conditions, experiences intense physical, emotional, and psychological consequences following the maternal near-miss (MNM) events. The aim of this study was therefore to explore indepth understanding meaning of NMM everyday lived experiences on the social and cultural background of Iran. METHODS: This qualitative study utilized a hermeneutic phenomenology procedure. The study was conducted in hospitals affiliated with the Educational, Research and Treatment Centerwhich usually handle the NMMs. The sampling was purposeful with a maximum variation of eleven NMMs. Datawere collected using unstructured face-to-face interviews, and thetranscribed data were analyzed using Diekelmann, Allen, and Tanner's seven-stage thematic analysis approach. RESULTS: "Death-stricken survivor mother" was the central emerged theme, and three extracted sub-themes included: "Distorted psyche on a journey to death", "physical destruction due to an ominous event ", and the "vicissitudinous life after reviving ". These sub-themes, in turn, involved 12 sub-themes that emerged from 38 common meanings and 1200 codes. CONCLUSIONS: Findings demonstrate that the living conditions of NMMs are mixed in all aspects of the MNM event. They need a supportive program that includes additional follow-up visits, psychological support from the time of hospitalization until long-time after discharge, alleviation of social, sexual, and financial worries to return them to the normal life, as well as psychosocial rehabilitation to increase their life quality. Furthermore, post-discharge care in NMMs should be done actively and directly at their homes.

A maternal near miss (MNM) is a life-threatening condition experienced by a mother with organ failure due to severe maternal morbidity. Near miss mother (NMM) experiences adverse outcome such as physical, emotional, and psychological consequences after near miss event. Understanding the meaning of these mothers' lived experience and listening to their voices will help in reducing the burden of complications and will be effective in rehabilitating the disability created in their life. "Death-stricken survivor mother" was the central emerged theme resulting from the study of phenomenology. The main body of this theme reflects the severe physical, psychological burden and vicissitudes life. Server maternal morbidity due pregnancy and childbirth, have made NMM mother's life very different from those of normal mothers. The living conditions of these mothers are mixed in all aspects of the MNM event. Long-term physical and psychological damages they have endured, should be on the agenda of women's health policy makers to support them for years after discharge with integrated care.

The efficacy of cognitive behavioural therapy on stress, anxiety and depression of infertile couples: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Infertility is considered globally to be a stressful and hard experience that affects the couples psychologically, socially and individually. The aim of this study was to systematically review the effectiveness of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) on depression, stress and anxiety in infertile couples. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, databases were searched up to August 2019. Twelve articles were included in the meta-analysis and analysed with Comprehensive Meta-Analysis (CMA) v2. The results of pooled studies showed that the mean scores for depression and anxiety decreased in patients receiving CBT as compared to the control group. The results of three pooled studies showed no significant difference on stress in patients receiving CBT as compared to the control group. The findings of this study provides valuable suggestions for improving mental health status through applying CBT to manage anxiety and depression in infertile couples.

The association of mode of delivery and dyspareunia: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

This meta-analysis aimed to examine the association between the mode of delivery and dyspareunia worldwide. Epidemiologic studies evaluating the link between the mode of delivery and dyspareunia (published up to July 2019) were included in this research. These studies were selected by searching several databases such as MEDLINE, ClinicalTraial.gov, PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus and Google Scholar and considering the list of selected articles extracted from references. Then, meta-analyses, subgroup analyses and meta-regressions of the studies were conducted to evaluate the association between the mode of delivery and dyspareunia. In this study, 23 out of 1099 articles were identified and used in the final analysis. Dyspareunia differed according to the mode of delivery although this difference was not statistically significant. In terms of the mode of delivery, a difference was found between instrumental vaginal delivery and caesarean section, but it was not significant. It seems that more studies with a larger sample size should be considered to determine the difference.

Do Not Neglect the Covid-19 Transmission Through Sexual Intercourse.

INTRODUCTION: Given the important role of sexual activity in most people's lives, in response to the question of whether the coronavirus is transmitted through sexual contact, this study was conducted to investigate the association of coronavirus transition with sexual contact. METHODS: Based on the PRISMA checklist, we review published articles on sexual contact with the Corona virus until 15 February 2021. Electronic databases based on search strategy including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science was searched to identify relevant papers in English language. RESULTS: Retrieved from 4671, 29 titles and abstracts articles screened, eight were excluded. There were 21 articles in the selection criteria. Of the 21 studies whose full text was read, only 5 studies stated that coronavirus was not transmitted through sexual contact, and 16 articles argued that sexual transmission of the virus could not be ignored. Most studies have confirmed the transmission of the virus through semen, but its transmission through vaginal secretions is unknown. CONCLUSION: Transmission of the virus through semen should be taken seriously in patients and the necessary education should be given to men and their sexual partners. Health care providers need to increase their knowledge and awareness to provide the best practices to reduction the risks related to Covid-19 sexual transmission through counseling and appropriate approaches.

Effect of Brief Cognitive Behavioral Counseling and Debriefing on the Prevention of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder in Traumatic Birth: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

OBJECTIVE: Planning to promote the health of mothers in postpartum is important in all countries. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of two counseling method on prevention of post-traumatic stress after childbirth. METHODS: In this clinical trial, 193 of mothers who had experienced a traumatic birth were randomly assigned to three groups. Participants were assessed using IES_R questionnaire at 4-6 weeks and 3 months after delivery. RESULTS: Debriefing and brief cognitive behavioral counseling (CBC) significantly improved the symptoms of postpartum traumatic stress disorder. After 3 months, CBC had a significant effect on the symptoms. CONCLUSION: Screening of traumatic childbirth, implementation of supportive care, and early counseling prior to the initiation of post-traumatic stress are recommended.

Prevalence of Preeclampsia and Eclampsia in Iran: An Updated Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: Preeclampsia is a major contributor to maternal morbidity and mortality. A previous systematic review was carried out in Iran in 2014. Due to the importance of this issue, a current evaluation is necessary after ten years. This research was performed to determine the prevalence of preeclampsia and eclampsia in Iran. Materials and Methods: Adhering to the PRISMA guideline, we searched English databases including Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, and Persian databases including SID, Magiran, and IranMedex on August 20, 2023, to identify studies reporting the prevalence of preeclampsia or eclampsia in Iran. Employing a focused term strategy and eligibility criteria, we ultimately included 55 studies in this review. After conducting a thorough evaluation, the CMAV3 software was utilized to analyze the data using the random effects model and calculate pooled results. Results: The overall prevalence of preeclampsia among Iranian mothers was 5.3%, while eclampsia accounted for 0.1% of live births. Notably, preeclampsia rates have risen since 2015, whereas eclampsia rates have declined over time. Single-variable meta-regression results indicated a negative correlation between age and preeclampsia. Conclusions: Preeclampsia is increasing among Iranian mothers, requiring an investigation into its risk factors, including maternal age, and consequently, high-risk pregnancies. Conversely, the decreasing occurrence of eclampsia indicates an enhancement in the quality of care following a preeclampsia diagnosis.

The Unmet Needs of Women with Maternal Near Miss Experience: A Qualitative Study.

Introduction: A maternal near-miss (MNM) case is defined as "a woman who nearly died but survived from life-threatening pregnancy or childbirth complication". This study was conducted on health care providers and near-miss mothers (NMMs) with the aim of discovering the unmet needs of Iranian NMM. Methods: In this qualitative study 37 participants of key informants, health providers, NMMs and their husbands were selected using purposive sampling. Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted for data collection until data saturation was achieved. Data were analyzed using Graneheim and Lundman conventional content analysis. Results: The analysis revealed the core category of "the need for comprehensive support". Eight categories included "psychological", "fertility", "information", "improvement the quality of care", "sociocultural", "financial", "breastfeeding" and "nutritional" needs emerging from 18 sub-categories, were formed from 2112 codes. Conclusion: Many of the real needs of NMM have been ignored. Maternal health policymakers should provide standard guidelines based on the needs discovered in this study to support the NMMs' unmet needs.

The Effect of Inhaled Oxygen on Postpartum Hemorrhage: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: Postpartum Hemorrhage (PPH) is a significant problem that can increase the risk of maternal mortality. Previous studies investigated the effect of Inhaled Oxygen (IO) on PPH. They found some conflicting results. Thus, the current systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the effect of IO on PPH. Materials and Methods: Randomized trials were searched according to the PRISMA framework until the end of November 2022 in Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane Library databases. Statistical analyses were performed in the STATA v. 14 software. I2 statistic was applied to assess heterogeneity between studies. The random effect model, sample size, and mean and standard deviation of each group were applied to report the pooled effect size. Version 2 of the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool for randomized trials (RoB 2) was used to evaluate the risk of bias in the included studies. Finally, five articles were included in the meta-analysis. Two and three studies reported the mean of bleeding after vaginal delivery during one- and two-hours oxygen therapy, respectively. Results: Results showed that IO significantly reduced bleeding by 38.91 mL in the intervention group compared to routine care (WMD: -38.91, 95%CI: -60.18 to -17.64) after vaginal delivery. In addition, IO during one (WMD: -38.42, 95%CI: -71.62 to -5.22) and two (WMD: -41.93, 95%CI: -60.15 to - 23.71) hours significantly decreased bleeding in the intervention. Conclusion: According to the present study, IO can significantly reduce PPH in the intervention group compared to routine care. However, more rigorously randomized clinical trials are required to decide better about this issue.

Novel Memories of Motherhood: Childbirth Lived Experiences of Mothers with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Introduction: The critical coronavirus pandemic presents a global challenge with dimensions yet unknown, underscoring the essential need to comprehend the lived experiences, especially for vulnerable groups. This study delves into the childbirth experiences of mothers dealing with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Methods: Employing hermeneutic phenomenology, this qualitative research was conducted at Mashhad University of Medical Sciences (Iran). Purposeful sampling involved 16 mothers with maximum variation. Unstructured telephone interviews collected data, analyzed using the Diekelman approach. Results: Unveiling the theme "Novel Memories of Motherhood," four central themes emerged: "The Missing Link in Quality Care," "Coronavirus Stigma," "A lonely mother in quarantine," and "Cascade of Psychological Trauma." Conclusion: COVID-19 acts as an intervening factor, distorting routine care and delivery programs. The focus for service providers attending to mothers in labor should extend beyond physical care, encompassing the elimination of coronavirus-related stigma and prioritizing psychological attention. This holistic approach is crucial for maintaining quality care standards.

Determinants of Maternal Near Miss among Women in Northeast Iran: A Facility-Based Case-Control Study.

Background: The investigation of Maternal Near-Miss (MNM) risk factors is important for the global reduction of maternal mortality. This study aimed to identify the determinants of MNM among pregnant women in northeastern Iran. Materials and Methods: A prospective case-control study was conducted on 250 women referred to the maternity ward of Nohom-e-Dey hospital in Torbat-e Heydarieh, Iran, from June 2018 to May 2020. Applying the criteria of the World Health Organization tool, near-miss mothers were taken as cases, and mothers with normal obstetric outcomes were selected as controls with convenience sampling. Logistic regression models using Stata version 14.0 and odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) were reported. Results: A total of 123 MNM cases and 127 controls were included in the study. The multiple logistic regression represented that having had previous abortion, living in rural or urban areas, whether the mother went through C/S or vaginal delivery and level of prenatal education were associated with MNM. Besides, having experienced chronic medical diseases during pregnancy had the strongest association with MNM, and next were complications during childbirth and neonatal outcomes which were associated with MNM, although in terms of statistical association, only the first two mentioned factors were statistically significant. Conclusions: Determinants of MNM could be experiencing chronic medical disorders during maternal complications. Health providers need to carefully manage past medical history and adverse perinatal outcomes, especially in pregnant women who live in rural areas. Encouraging mothers to attend pregnancy training classes is effective in reducing MNM.

Improving the quality of care in pregnancy and childbirth with coronavirus (COVID-19): a systematic review.

In the context of serious coronavirus epidemic, it is critical that pregnant women not be ignored potentially life-saving interventions. So, this study was designed to improve the quality of care by health providers through what they need to know about coronavirus during pregnancy and childbirth. We conducted a systematic review of electronic databases was performed for published in English, before 25 March 2020. Finally, 29 papers which had covered the topic more appropriately were included in the study. The results of the systematic review of the existing literature are presented in the following nine sections: Symptoms of the COVID-19 in pregnancy, Pregnancy management, Delivery Management, Mode of delivery, Recommendations for health care provider in delivery, Neonatal outcomes, Neonatal care, Vertical Transmission, Breastfeeding. In conclusion, improving quality of care in maternal health, as well as educating, training, and supporting healthcare providers in infection management to be prioritized. Sharing data can help to countries that to prevent maternal and neonatal morbidity associated with the COVID-19.

The relationship between global gender equality with maternal and neonatal health indicators: an ecological study.

PURPOSE: Achieving the millennium development goals (MDGs) and sustainable development goals (SDGs) including gender equality, reducing maternal, neonatal, and under 5 mortality rates are still considered a major global challenge. This study was performed with the aim of investigating the relationship between global gender equality and maternal as well as neonatal, and under 5 children health indicators. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The present study is an ecological study performed through credible secondary data published in 2017 for each country. Then, the Gender Equality Index along with its four areas, maternal mortality, neonatal mortality, and under 5 mortality rates were extracted. Data analysis was performed by SPSS 24 via descriptive-analytical statistics and linear regression. RESULTS: There was a significant and direct correlation between all of the three variables of maternal mortality, neonatal, as well as under 5 mortality and Gender Equality Index. Correlation analysis between the above-mentioned indicators and the areas of Gender Equality Index showed that there is no significant correlation between the "economic opportunities and participation" index and none of the maternal, neonatal, and under 5 mortality indicators. The "educational attainment" index had an inverse significant correlation with the above-mentioned variables. The "survival and health" index had only an inverse significant correlation with neonatal mortality, and "political empowerment" had such a correlation with neonatal and under 5 mortality rates. CONCLUSIONS: Panning and policymaking for reducing gender equality barriers should be among the top priorities of primary healthcare in order to achieve maternal, neonatal, and under 5 health universally.

Mothering sweetness mixed with the bitterness of death: the lived mothering experience of near-miss mothers.

PURPOSE: Maternal near miss (MNM) refers to women who survive death as a result of life-threatening obstetric complications or organ system dysfunction during pregnancy, childbirth or postpartum. The aim of the present study was to gain an understanding of mothering experiences in survivors 'mothers due maternal near miss event. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Heideggerian hermeneutic phenomenology guided this qualitative study. The study was conducted 1 June and 30 December 2019. The sampling was purposeful with maximum variation of 11 near miss mother that used unstructured face-to-face interview for data collection. Data analyzed using Diekelmann, Allen, and Tanner seven stage thematic analysis approach. FINDINGS: Emergent theme was "mothering sweetness mixed with the bitterness of death." The two themes constituting the essence was: "An Angel with Broken Wings" and "Mothering in the Shadow of Death." The subthemes comprised five sub-sub themes which emerged from over 850 meaning units. Data were analyzed using MAXQDA10 software. CONCLUSION: Maternal health providers need to know that it is not enough only to focus on saving the mother's physical life. While strengthening the role of mothering is essential element to support near-miss mothers who have experienced difficult physical and psychological conditions. The "beyond numbers" concept, implies that it is not enough only to focus on saving the mother's physical life. Removing barriers in order to achieve to early mothering, can have a significant impact on reducing the psychological burden of MNM events.

Postpartum depression in women with maternal near miss: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

BACKGROUND: postpartum depression (PPD) is one of the psychological complications of mothers who have experienced severe maternal morbidity/maternal near miss (SMM/MNM) which can adversely affect the wellbeing of mothers, new born infants and other family members, but the risk level in this group is unclear. Therefore, we did a meta-analysis to ascertain the relationship PPD with MNM/SMM. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The authors searched relevant studies in databases (Web of Science, PubMed, EMBASE, Clinikalkey, Scopus).The summary odds ratio (OR) along with 95% confidence interval (CI) was calculated by use of random or fixed effects models. RESULTS: Four studies were included in qualitative synthesis. The pooled analysis revealed that PPD was significantly associated with an increased risk of MNM/SMM (OR = 1.83; 95% CI 1.37-2.44, p = 0.027). CONCLUSION: The results show that the risk of PPD in the MNM mothers are twice as likely as women without MNM. Therefore, more attention should be paid to psychological symptoms such as depression in MNM in order to reduce the long-term burden of maternal morbidity.

Understanding the Meaning of Lived Experience "Maternal Near Miss": A Qualitative Study Protocol.

Background: Maternal near-miss (MNM) is defined as "a woman who almost died but survived a serious maternal complication during pregnancy, childbirth, or within 42 days of completion of pregnancy". Despite the long-term physical and psychological burden of this event on the mother's life, the meaning of MNM is not clear. In addition, the mother's role complicates the understanding of this phenomenon. Therefore, this study aimed to understand lived experience of Iranian "near-miss" mothers in the postpartum period. Methods: In this Heideggerian phenomenological study, we used Souza and colleagues' theoretical framework to understand the meaning of the lived experience of near-miss mothers in-depth. The participants had experienced MNM at least one year ago by World Health Organization (WHO)approach in multicenter, academic, tertiary care hospitals in Mashhad, Iran. Taking into account reflexivity and after obtaining ethical approval, participants were purposively sampled using semi-structured interviews, and data analysis was conducted by Diekelmann and colleagues up to data saturation. Data collection and analysis has been argued by Lincoln and Guba. Discussion: Our findings resulted in updating the existing knowledge about the meaning of MNM and its implication. Given the different needs and challenges of near-miss mothers, it is necessary to design a supportive program of primary care for them. Policymakers and managers should consider the lived experience of these mothers when planning and taking decisions.

Lived Traumatic Childbirth Experiences of Newly Delivered Mothers Admitted to the Postpartum Ward: a Phenomenological Study.

Introduction: Childbirth is a stressful event in every woman's life, leading to traumatic deliveries in half of the cases. This study aimed at describing mothers' lived experiences which make them perceive their childbirth as traumatic. Methods: In this descriptive phenomenological study, based on the DSM-V-A criteria, 32 mothers who had perceptions of a traumatic event during their labor and delivery were explored through semi-structured interviews, and the collected data were analyzed using the Colaizzi's method. Results: Four main themes could be extracted from the experiences of the mothers. The first theme was sensational and emotional experiences followed by clinical experiences, legal experiences and human dignity, and environmental experiences. The sensational and emotional experiences included four main categories (anxiety, fear, sorrow, anger). The theme of clinical experiences included two main categories (avoidable and unavoidable childbirth complications). The theme of legal experiences and human dignity included two main categories (non-observance of the charter of patient rights, and non-observance of human rights). The theme of environmental experiences also included two main categories (lack of proper supervision and management). Conclusion: To prevent traumatic childbirth and its negative effects, different psychological aspects of childbirth need to be identified.

Effect of the Sacred Hour on Postnatal Depression in Traumatic Childbirth: a Randomized Controlled Trial.

Introduction: the implementation of the baby's nine instinctive stages as a sacred hour after birth is very effective in starting breastfeeding. About half of newly delivered mothers have reported a traumatic childbirth experience often associated with mental health problems. The present study aimed to examine the effect of the sacred hour on the depression in traumatic childbirths. Methods: In this clinical trial, 84 mothers who had experienced a traumatic childbirth were randomly allocated into the intervention (n = 42) and control (n = 42) groups. The intervention group received sacred hour (baby's nine instinctive responses), but the control group received only the routine care. Postnatal depression was evaluated as primary outcome at 2 week, 4-6 week and 3 month intervals after the delivery. The data were analyzed using t test, chi-square test and the repeated measures analysis of variance. Results: The results showed that the marginal total mean (SD: standard deviation) scores of depression in the intervention and control groups were 7.5 (2.6) and 9.6 (2.6); therefore, the mean difference (95% CI) between the groups (-2.1, (-3.2,-0.95)) was significant. Conclusion: The implementation of the sacred hour is recommended as a preventive approach to reduce the postnatal depression in women with a traumatic childbirth experience.

The Maternal Near Miss Incidence Ratio with WHO Approach in Iran: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

BACKGROUND: Maternal near miss (MNM) is one of the important criteria for checking the quality of care in maternal health. This systematic review and meta-analysis study was conducted in 2017 to evaluate the incidence ratio of MNM using the World Health Organization approach in Iran. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study was designed based on Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) checklist for systematic reviews, and Web of Science and PubMed databases were searched systematically, which, respectively, yielded 171 and 137 papers published before June 9, 2017. To include papers written in Persian by Iranian scholars, Google Scholar database was searched and 542 papers were retrieved. Finally, 12 papers which had covered the topic more appropriately were included in the study. Random-effects meta-analysis was used to pool the incidence ratio. Heterogeneity was explored using formal tests and subgroup analyses, then the study quality was also explored. RESULTS: The pooling of overall potentially life-threatening conditions ratio was I2 (97.60%, p < 0.001, ratio = 2.50/1000 live births [LBs] [95% CI: 2.00-3.00]), which is divided into two indicators: severe complication ratio (2.40/1000 LBs) and critical intervention ratio (2.54/1000 LBs). The pooling of overall life-threatening conditions ratio was I2 (95.10%, p < 0.001, ratio = 0.86/1000 LBs [95% CI: 0.64-1.07]). CONCLUSIONS: The incidence ratio of MNM needs more attention in Iran. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the factors related to MNM and then implement suitable strategies to reduce the risk factors of the maternal morbidity and improve the quality of maternal care in facilities.

The global prevalence of maternal near miss: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Improving the maternal health is one of the world's most challenging problems. Despite significant movements over the past decades, maternal health has been still considered as a central goal for sustainable development. Maternal near miss (MNM) cases experience long-term physical and psychological effects. To present a clear portrait of the current situation, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis with the purpose to assess the worldwide prevalence of MNM. Methods: We conducted a systematic review on PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science electronic databases to find published papers in English, before March 2019 and regardless of the type of study. We, then, assessed the prevalence of MNM according to the World Health Organization(WHO) criteria. Finally, 49 papers were included in the study. Random effects meta-analysis was used to pool the available prevalence. The quality of studies was also evaluated. Results: The weighted pooled worldwide prevalence of MNM, was 18.67/1000 (95% CI: 16.28-21.06). Heterogeneity was explored using subgroup analyses based on the continent and the country. We used meta-regression of MNM on MD which resulted in adjusted R-squared as78.88%. Conclusion: The prevalence of MNM was considerable. Low- and middle-income countries should develop systematic approaches to improve quality of care in the facilities and to reducethe risk of MNM events, with the hope to women's health.
