The Department of Maternal, Newborn, Child and Adolescent Health and Ageing, WHO Geneva and USAID’s MOMENTUM Country and Global Leadership are launching the Maternal and Perinatal Death Surveillance and Response (MPDSR) Capacity Building Materials. This package was jointly developed by MOMENTUM Country and Global Leadership, WHO, UNFPA and UNICEF and is updated to reflect the latest evidence and guidance on MPDSR.

This webinar will share capacity building plans across different regions to improve MPDSR implementation at the facility level. Speakers will share their experience of developing an MPDSR capacity building programme at country and regional level and the opportunity this provided to address MPDSR implementation gaps. This webinar will include discussions on the structure of the capacity building programme and how it was used and monitored to establish MPDSR facilitators at country level.

This webinar is hosted by the Network for Improving the Quality of Maternal, Newborn and Child Health, with the World Health Organization, Geneva and USAID’s MOMENTUM Country and Global Leadership.
