[Barriers and facilitators to reproductive health service utilization in Cote d’Ivoire: A community-based qualitative study].

Introduction: Improving Reproductive Maternal Newborn Child Adolescent Health Plus Nutrition (RMNCAH+N) indicators is a challenge for health systems, especially those in sub-Saharan Africa. The objective of this study was to identify barriers and facilitators to the use of RMNCAH+N services in areas with low indicators in Cote d’Ivoire.

Methods: A qualitative case study was conducted in September 2021, with 76 beneficiaries of RMNCAH+N services in the health districts of Boundiali, Toulepleu and Tanda.

Acceptability of the Kangaroo Mother Care at the University Hospital of Treichville in Côte d'Ivoire.

Background: Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) is a low-tech, highimpact intervention for preterm and low-birth-weight newborns. In 2019, Côte d'Ivoire opened its first KMC unit. We wanted to determine KMC's acceptability in Côte d'Ivoire after a year.

Determinants of childbirth care quality along the care continuum in limited resource settings: A structural equation modeling analysis of cross-sectional data from Burkina Faso and Côte d'Ivoire.

Introduction: Despite the important increase in in-facility births, perinatal mortality rates have remained high and slow to decrease in many developing countries. This situation is attributed to poor childbirth care quality. The reason why women delivering in health facilities do not always receive care of an adequate standard is unclear.

Barriers and facilitators to kangaroo mother care implementation in Cote d'Ivoire: a qualitative study.

Background: Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) is a high impact, low technology and cost-effective intervention for the care of preterm and low birth weight newborn. Cote d'Ivoire adopted the intervention and opened the first KMC unit in 2019. This study aimed to assess barriers and facilitators of KMC implementation in Cote d'Ivoire, a year after its introduction, as well as proposed solutions for improving KMC implementation in the country.

Feasibility of the eight or more contacts of the WHO new antenatal care model in Cote d'Ivoire: an antenatal care providers' perspective.

This paper examines the feasibility of the eight or more ANC contacts in Cote d'Ivoire through a qualitative study among twenty antenatal care providers through individual interviews. The eight or more ANC contacts were found useful as they will allow a better follow up of the pregnancy. Main barriers were: the lack of training on the 2016 WHO ANC model, the late initiation of ANC and the fear of increased workload.

Effectiveness of the World Health Organization Safe Childbirth Checklist (WHO-SCC) in preventing poor childbirth outcomes: a study protocol for a matched-pair cluster randomized control trial.

Background: Women delivering in health facilities in sub-Saharan Africa and their newborns do not always receive proven interventions needed to prevent and/or adequately manage severe complications. The gaps in quality of care are increasingly pointed out as major contributing factor to the high and slow declining perinatal mortality rates. The World Health Organization Safe Childbirth Checklist (WHO-SCC), as a quality improvement strategy, targets low cost and easy to perform interventions and suits well with the context of limited resource settings.

Feasibility study on the adoption of the WHO safe childbirth checklist by front-line healthcare providers and managers in Burkina Faso and Côte d'Ivoire.

Background: The World Health Organization Safe Childbirth Checklist tool was specifically designed for developing countries such as sub-Saharan African countries, to ensure safety and security of the couple mother and newborn around the time of childbirth. However, the implementation of the Safe Childbirth Checklist tool requires a good knowledge of the context setting to face challenges. Our study objectives were (1) to assess the acceptability of the WHO SCC tool and (2) to identify conditions and strategies for a better introduction and use of the WHO SSC tool.

Quality of maternal and newborn care in limited-resource settings: a facility-based cross-sectional study in Burkina Faso and Côte d'Ivoire.

Objective: To assess and compare the quality of intrapartum and immediate postpartum care across levels of healthcare in Burkina Faso and Côte d'Ivoire using validated process indicators.

Design: Health facility-based cross-sectional study with direct observation of healthcare workers' practices while caring for mother-newborn pairs during intrapartum and immediate postpartum periods.

Setting: Primary healthcare facilities and their corresponding referral hospitals in the Central-North region in Burkina Faso and the Agneby-Tiassa-Mé region in Côte d'Ivoire.
