Abstract

- Poor quality of maternal and newborn care contributes to nearly two million deaths of mothers and their newborns worldwide annually. Assessment of readiness and availability of perinatal care services in health facilities provides evidence to underlying bottlenecks for improving quality of care. This study aimed to evaluate the readiness and availability of perinatal care services in public hospitals of Nepal using WHO's health system framework.This was a mixed methods study conducted in 12 public hospitals in Nepal. A cross-sectional study design was used to assess the readiness and availability of perinatal care services. Three different data collection tools were developed. The tools were pretested in a tertiary maternity hospital and the discrepancies in the tools were corrected before administering in the study hospitals. The data were collected between July 2017 to July 2018.Only five out of 12 hospitals had the availability of all the basic newborn care services under assessment. Kangaroo mother care (KMC) service was lacking in most of the hospitals (7 out of 12). Only two hospitals had all health workers involved in perinatal care services trained in neonatal resuscitation. All of the hospitals were found not to have all the required equipment for newborn care services. Overall, only 60% of the health workers had received neonatal resuscitation training. A small proportion (3.2%) of the newborn infants with APGAR < 7 at one minute received bag and mask ventilation. Only 8.2% of the mothers initiated breastfeeding to newborn infants before transfer to the post-natal ward, 73.4% of the mothers received counseling on breastfeeding, and 40.8% of the mothers kept their newborns in skin-to-skin contact immediately after birth.The assessment reflected the gaps in the availability of neonatal care services, neonatal resuscitation training, availability of equipment, infrastructure, information system, and governance. Rapid scale-up of neonatal resuscitation training and increased availability of equipment is needed for improving the quality of neonatal care services.
