The World Health Organization, UNICEF, UNFPA, and the United Nations’ Special Programme on Human Reproduction (HRP) released a new first-of-its-kind implementation guide to help countries provide respectful, dignified care and eliminate mistreatment across maternal and newborn health services: Compendium on respectful maternal and newborn care.
Targeted primarily at health programme managers, the publication gathers recent evidence, provides links to practical tools, and outlines actions to help countries strengthen respectful care across a full range of maternal and newborn services.
The Compendium is published with support from Jhpiego and the MOMENTUM Country and Global Leadership programme.
