Standards for improving quality of maternal and newborn care in health facilities

This framework contains eight domains of quality of care that should be assessed, improved, and monitored within the health system. The health system provides the structure for access to high-quality care in the two important, inter-linked dimensions of provision and experience of care. Within this framework and in line with the Organization’s mandate, WHO will work towards realization of its vision in six strategic areas, which will be the basis for a systematic, evidence-based approach to providing guidance for improving the quality of maternal and newborn care.
