Qualitative Evaluation of PC-Solutions Strategy

L10K implemented a participatory community quality improvement (PC-Solutions) strategy in eight primary health care units of Ethiopia to improve utilization and quality of MNH services. The evaluation of this strategy was conducted using quantitative methods. The analysis of the facility surveys showed access to and utilization of most maternal and newborn interventions improved over time. The analysis of the quasi-experimental study showed significant intervention effects for improving utilization of MNH practices including early care seeking of women for ANC and provision of PNC by providers.
