About this resource

This webinar features Drs. Florina Serbanescu, Sunday Dominico, Mzee Nassoro and Neena Prasad.

For nearly two decades, Kigoma Region in western Tanzania has advanced maternal and newborn health through a government-aligned effort to expand high-quality emergency obstetric and newborn care (EmONC). After transitioning fully to government oversight in 2019, a 2024 evaluation found that key services and health gains were largely sustained. This webinar explores lessons on decentralization, quality improvement, and sustaining impact in resource-constrained settings.

This webinar included a discussion board question in the SDR Community of Practice, to participate, access the Discussion Board.
