Welcome to our brand new mini-series. In this mini-series, we are shining a spotlight on the programme, Improving Quality of Maternal and Newborn Health. This is a UK funded programme by the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office, and is led by the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine.

In each of the four episodes that we will be delivering to you, we will be discussing different ways that the programme has strengthened the capacities of health practitioners to deliver high quality care, to reduce maternal and newborn morbidity and mortality.
