Abstract: | In support of the Safe Motherhood Initiative, the WHO Making Pregnancy
Safer Strategy focuses on the Health Sector’s contribution to reducing
maternal and newborn deaths.
The Integrated Management of Pregnancy and Childbirth (IMPAC) is the
technical component of the aforementioned strategy and mainly addresses the
following:
• Improving the skills of health workers through locally adapted guidelines
and standards for the management of pregnancy and childbirth at
different levels of the health care system;
• Interventions to improve the health care system’s response to the needs
of pregnant women and their newborns, and to improve the district level
management of health services, including the provision of adequate
staffing, logistics, supplies and equipment;
• Health education and promotion of activities that improve family and
community attitudes and practices in relation to pregnancy and
childbirth.
This manual, and a similar one on the management of preterm and sick
newborns, is written for midwives and doctors working in district hospitals.
This manual complements and is consistent with the Essential Care Practice
Guide for Pregnancy and Childbirth which is prepared mainly for the primary
health care level. Together these manuals will provide guidance for health
workers who are responsible for the care of pregnant women and newborns at
all levels of care.
The interventions described in these manuals are based on the latest available
scientific evidence. Given that evidence-based medicine is the standard on
which to base clinical practice, it is planned to update the manual as new
information is acquired.
It is hoped that this manual will be used at the side of the patient, and be
readily available whenever a midwife or doctor is confronted with an
obstetric emergency. |
