Nigeria: Improving Quality of Family Planning Services (through MCHIP)
- Summary
-
Use of modern contraception in Northwest Nigeria remains a major challenge. Family planning (FP) is a key component of maternal health services and contributes significantly to the efforts to reduce maternal and newborn morbidity and mortality.
The Maternal and Child Health Integrated Program (MCHIP) is educating women and communities about the importance of FP for adequate spacing between pregnancies and will also engage men to reach out to fellow men to both practice FP and allow their wives to use appropriate FP methods.
Therefore, the thrust of MCHIP FP activities is to:
• Continue the expansion of the method mix for contraception by training more health care workers to provide long-acting methods;
• Expand services to at least six additional potential high-volume sites;
• Scale up its efforts to improve the quality of FP services in selected Local Government Authority levels through training and supervision of health providers; and
• Update doctors on FP and train additional nurse/midwives to provide long-acting methods of FP.

Nigeria: Strengthening Emergency Obstetric and Newborn Care (through MCHIP)
- Summary
-
Although supportive and explicit policies related to maternal and newborn health already exist in Nigeria and are by and large consistent with international efforts, there are still several barriers that have a direct bearing on Nigeria’s ability to successfully implement and roll out high-quality emergency obstetric and newborn care (EmONC).
EmONC interventions to be successful, pregnant women, mothers and newborns with complications must be identified early and provided with appropriate care that is sought in an opportune manner. Therefore, educating women and their families to detect obstetric and newborn danger signs and complications early, must begin as soon as possible, preferably prior to pregnancy or as soon as conception is established. Educating women and communities on complications and actions to take is essential during the antenatal, delivery and postpartum period.
The Maternal and Child Health Integrated Program (MCHIP)/Nigeria Project will continue to address these barriers by implementing strategies at national and state levels to ensure that the appropriate policies, clinical standards and guidelines are in place to support the provision of quality EmONC services at state and Local Government Authority levels.
