Combining an experiential learning model and interprofessional peer-mentoring to improve maternal and neonatal health: Lessons learned from Indonesia.

Background: High maternal-neonatal mortality rate in the East Nusa Tenggara Timur Province, Indonesia, has raised a concern about improving quality health care and prevention. A task force team consisting of the district health office and the corresponding hospital implemented an interprofessional peer mentoring for improving maternal-neonatal health initiative involving various health professionals and community members. This study assesses the effectiveness of the interprofessional peer-mentoring program in improving health-care workers' capacity and community members' awareness of maternal-neonatal health in the primary care setting.
