Implementing the quality standard on maternity care
NICE International visited two hospitals in Trivandrum, Kerala where the recently published quality standard on maternal care (1St Edition) will be piloted. From the 1 April eight hospitals (6 public and 2 private) will be implementing the standards on post-partum haemorrhage and hypertensive disorders in pregnancy on a trial basis. This initiative is managed by the National Rural Health Mission under the leadership of the Principal Secretary (Health) of the Government of Kerala, Rajeev Sadanandan and in partnership with the Kerala Federation of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists. NICE International has provided technical support to the Kerala team throughout the project.
