Improving intrapartum care in Ethiopia to reduce stillbirths and maternal deaths

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study aims to implement the PartoMa approach in Ethiopia, which includes locally agreed intrapartum care guidelines and continuous training for healthcare providers. The intervention involves monitoring fetal heart rates using the MOYO device and co-creating context-specific guidelines to enhance decision-making during labor. The study will assess the impact of these interventions on perinatal mortality and overall quality of care in two hospitals in Eastern Ethiopia. It will follow laboring women and their offspring from the onset of labor until discharge, evaluating the effectiveness of the new guidelines and training programs.
