The Network for Improving Quality of Care for Maternal and Newborn Health (Quality of Care Network), through its global Learning Platform, is building a community of health practitioners across all levels of service delivery, to harvest local implementation ideas and share experiences within and across countries. As part of its learning activities, the Quality of Care Network is organizing a series of webinars on selected topics on quality of care improvement from a country perspective, as well as quality improvement implementation science.
The first webinar series speaks to capacity building for improving quality of care in health facilities, at the point of care. The second series, starting in August, will focus on how to adapt and implement quality of care standards for maternal and newborn health. See below the webinar schedule. Additional webinars may be scheduled and will be announced on the website.
Please note that participation in these webinars requires registration. To be invited to register, please send an email to info@qualityofcarenetwork.org
