  COMPETENCIES  in  the  COMMUNITY  

Summary  messages    

1.  PracHsing  workforce  (and  quality)  not  known  

2.  Inadequate  numbers  –  inequitable  coverage  

3.  ‘Triple  gap’  –  competencies,  coverage,  access  

4.  EducaHon,  regulaHon,  professional  associaHon  –  weak  

5.  Policy  coherence  –  missing    “Failed  to  reach”  NOT  “Hard  to  reach”    

MDG5.2  –  95%  births  assisted  by  a  SBA

•  38  countries  –  112,000  more  midwives  needed  

 •  20  countries  –  volume,  but  

distribuHon,  uHlisaHon,  quality  etc  remain  barriers  (sHll  low  %  SBA)

CondiJons  for  achieving  quality    

1.  EducaHon,  RegulaHon  and  Professional  associaHon  development

midwives  =>  21%  reducHon  of  maternal,  foetal  and  newborn  deaths  

•  Add  universal  coverage  of  all  births  in  a  BEmONC  facility  with  midwives    =>  56  %  reducHon  

 •  Total:  3.6  million  lives  saved  in  2015    

–  61%  of  maternal  deaths,    –  49%  of  foetal  deaths,  and    –  60%  of  newborn  deaths
