Dear HIFA and CHIFA colleagues,

The invitation below is forwarded from WHO.

Join us on April 16, 2025, from 14:00 to 15:30 CET for the official launch of WHO’s new technical guide:

Measuring and monitoring quality of care to improve maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health services: a practical guide for programme managers

This guide and an accompanying health information system landscape assessment tool are designed to support programme managers, policymakers, and health practitioners in strengthening the measurement and monitoring of quality of care to improve health services, with a special focus on maternal, newborn, child, and adolescent health. The guide provides practical guidance and country examples on:

- Selecting fit-for-purpose quality of care indicators to monitor and guide improvement,

- Assessing and strengthening health information systems to measure and monitor prioritized quality of care indicators,

- Tracking and analysing quality of care indicators to guide improvement,

- Assessing and improving data quality to strengthen quality improvement results and stakeholder trust, and

- Strengthening quality improvement measurement capability of key actors

During the launch, you can expect insights from WHO and global health leaders; an interactive panel discussion to share perspectives from countries, implementing partners and technical experts; and a Q&A session.
