A new BMC supplement on Maternal and Perinatal Death Surveillance and Response  (MPDSR) looks at what implementation looks like in practice,  highlighting research and programmatic insights from low- and middle-income countries working to improve MPDSR systems at national and subnational levels.

The supplement ‘Strengthening Implementation of Maternal and Perinatal Death Surveillance and Response (MPDSR): Moving from Data to Action’ features studies that explore:

 • Rapid MPDSR tools in humanitarian crises (Tigray, Ethiopia)
 • Community engagement to reduce blame and build trust
 • The economic case for investing in MPDSR
 • Country experiences from Nigeria, North Macedonia, and Sri Lanka
 • Measuring implementation progress in Uganda

Additional papers will be published on a rolling basis through 2025.
