Safe Motherhood in Nepal

In the final stages of Support to the Safe Motherhood Programme (SSMP), it is important to look at future sustainability of programme interventions and support, in particular considering system strengthening and the system’s ability to change when needed as the basis of sustainability. In this report we use a framework drawn from the WHO Countdown Working Group on Health Policy and Health Systems paper, Assessment of the health system and policy environment as a critical complement to tracking intervention coverage for maternal, new born, and child health, published in The Lancet, 12 April 2008, to look at sub-sector issues around the delivery of safe motherhood services and to assess sustainability.
