Background
In DR Congo, especially in North health division,
about 104 children and 68 women died from a direct
complication related to pregnancy out of 100000Live
Births, 15 women have a disability due to childbirth out
of 100000 Live Births during that particular time of the
survey. This is a burden, an obligation of the state to
provide the population with a minimum standard of
living acceptable. The Democratic Republic of the
Congo is not the first to engage in the surveillance of
maternal and infant deaths. It had of maternal death
audits, which are used to allow the National
reproductive health program to determine the major
causes of death. For example, in 2015 rates of bleeding
(47.9%) and abortion (17%) were high. Among
adolescents, complications such as anemia (16%),
infections (12%) and eclampsia (8%) were also
concerning. The issue is that demographic, social,
economic, cultural, political, environmental,
managerial, organizational and human health
conditions are among crucial factors that influence in
one way to another the feasibility of any given
intervention. That is why an assessment of these aspects
is needed before and during the implementation phases.
Objectives
To implement a permanent surveillance health
system in order to promote an easy access opportunity
to maternity healthcare services is the most important
issue that this project want to emphasis on. The
gendered health equity through some strategies
implementation, policies, regulations and establishing
clinical legal laws that gathering both maternal and
child health and equity promotion. Community-based
participatory research approaches should be the bench
mark of community members and clinicians’
commitment at all levels of the system.
Design
A clinical and community based analysis will
precede a resources assessment (SWOT) during the
implementation of maternity healthcare services
provision. Community-based participatory research
approaches will be deployed. Records on maternal and
infant deaths will be major data. The settings are the 35
health facilities that will be selected randomly in the
Karisimbi Health Zone where the previous study about
test the CHFP model was piloted.
Results
The results are ought to show the effectiveness of
the CHFP model. After five years in monitoring
activities initiated and implemented to prevent maternal
and infant death we should know that a change has
occurred from a higher to low Maternal and infant rate.
For the Health zone of Karisimbi in DR Congo the
study shall revel that the Maternal Death Rate or 69%
has changed in decreasing and an increase in couple
antenatal consultation. The description should be
prompt on the proportions of nurses’ provision of
maternity healthcare at pre-pregnancy stage followed
by birth attendants, only biomedical or physician
provided assistance to a pregnant woman during
prenatal period and women who did not received
assistance at prenatal stage. During delivery, biomedical
or physician, followed by the assistance of nurse, and
birth attendants, only community experienced woman
provided care during delivery. At postnatal stage,
biomedical or physician assistance, nurse assistance
were provided, women who were not assisted.
Conclusion
The surveillance of maternity healthcare services is
health system that generates sensitive data and strategic
information that must follow a certain channel well
maintained inside and outside products. Its
sustainability and its success depend on it.
