-
The issue
of skilled attendance at delivery should go beyond advocacy and promotion
and action should start now at all levels as the theme calls for action.
-
There is a
need to amend the regulations by MoH to create legal backing for midlevel
professionals to practice EmOC, to provide free maternal care in the rural
areas, to provide better incentives for professionals working in the
countryside and the deployment and retention of staffs.
-
The
in-service and pre service training of all health professionals should be
revisited and enriched so that graduates meet the required level of
competence to be defined as skilled attendant or other professional
category.
-
ESOG as
its social and professional obligation should serve as a source for
evidence-based practices in curriculum development for in and pre service
trainings and continuing medial educations to all categories of health
professionals.
-
Notification and review of maternal death should be routine in the maternal
care.
-
ESOG and
concerned parties should continue to widely advocate that maternal death is
a national tragedy.
-
Care of a
newborn baby must start immediately at birth and should be the
responsibility of the birth attendant/obstetrician, then the pediatrician
and the mother.
-
The MoH, ESOG and other partners working in the field of RH should work
together in harmony using standard guiding principles to coordinate their
activities.
