Background
Approximately 80% of Malawi's 13 million population resides in rural communities.
The majority of the Malawian Population in rural areas seek medical care in health centers
Limited human and material resources contributes to delays in providing comprehensive and quality care at health centers

Introduction of Performance and Quality Improvement Process
In 2002, the Ministry of Health (MoH) identified Infection Prevention (IP) as National priority to protect patients/clients, healthcare workers, the community, and the environment from nosocomial infections and improve delivery of health services.
This was done through Performance and Quality Improvement (PQI) processes following standard based management and Recognition (SBM-R) approach
To-date 35 Facilities are implementing PQI/IP.

Introduction cont.
In 2006 MoH started implementing PQI in RH in Selected Districts and Referral Hospitals following the success of PQI in IP
To-date 28 hospitals and 4 tertiary Hospitals are implementing SBM-R)
In 2008 PQI was launched following SBM-R in 13 health centers covering 4 districts after successful implementations of SBM-R in district and tertiary hospitals

Aim of SBM-R in Health Centers
Aim was to strengthen quality of services at first level facilities where 80% of Malawians receive primary care

PROCESS
Integrated operational performance standards for both Infection Prevention and Reproductive health for health centers level were developed in August-September 2008 for monitoring quality assurance
Identification of service providers and management to form a Quality Improvement Support Team (QIST)

Process cont.
The QIST in the health centers were trained in PQI modules 1 and 2 and Module 3 (November – December 2008 and April – June 2009)
Monitoring of service improvements done on a quarterly basis and annually at the national level
District-level stakeholder’s meeting conducted to review internal assessment results and share progress and challenges

Assessment of Impact of PQI intervention at Health Center level
MCHIP in collaboration with Reproductive Health Unit of Ministry of Health conducted an external assessment to document impact of PQI interventions
Assessment conducted in 4 of the 13 implementing sites and 2 non implementing sites
The integrated IP/RH standards were used in the documentation exercise

Impact continued
Health centers scored an average 56.6% (range 33%-65%) at follow-up in April 2009 compared to 34.3% (range 19-49%) at baseline the previous quarter and 23.7% for non practicing sites
All the implementing health facilities have shown increased adherence to standards compared to baseline

Impact cont.
All facilities were observed to be practicing active management of the third stage of labour (AMTSL) to prevent postpartum hemorrhage, the leading cause of maternal deaths.
Integration of PMTCT in RH services is now being offered routinely in postnatal care and family planning.

Conclusion
All the health centers implementing integrated PQI IP-RH services showed improvement in the quality of care provided as compared to non intervention sites (45.9% vs. 23.7%, p<.01)
PQI IP-RH is a workable approach, use existing health systems (i.e. staffing, drugs and supplies) to improve quality of care.
PQI following SBM-R is critical in making n impact in the MDGs 4 and 5

Way Forward
Since PQI in IP/RH/PMTCT has proved to make a difference in the delivery of health services, there is need to scale up to other areas in order to improve the quality of RH services and make an impact in the MDGs 4 and 5
The Chairperson of NQATWG has directed that the interventions be scaled up to all the health centers in Malawi
