- The Program to Reduce Maternal Deaths in Tanzania (2006-2019) aimed to enhance maternal and reproductive healthcare in the Kigoma region through a phased approach, focusing on accessibility, quality, and community demand.
- The initiative notably decreased maternal and perinatal mortality rates, increased modern contraceptive use, and reduced the unmet need for contraception, ultimately transitioning to Tanzanian government oversight by 2019.
- Key lessons from the Program highlight the importance of partnerships, quality clinical services, timely data responsiveness, and sustainability planning to successfully reduce maternal mortality in similar low-resource settings.
