The views expressed in this report are those of the participants in the Consultation on Human Resource Development in Making Pregnancy Safer.

This report has been prepared by the World Health Organization Regional Office for the Western Pacific for governments of Member States in the Region and for those who participated in the Consultation on Human Resource Development in Making Pregnancy Safer, held in Shanghai, China from 26 to 28 September 2006. SUMMARY

A Consultation on Human Resource Development in Making Pregnancy Safer was held from 2G to 28 September 2006 in Shanghai, China.

The objectives of the workshop were:

(1) to share experiences and lessons on providing universal coverage of skilled attendants, capacity building and research on reduction of maternal, perinatal and newborn mortality and morbidity;

(2) to familiarize the participants with the WHO global and regional strategies on making pregnancy safer, and the manuals and guidelines on integrated management of pregnancy and childbirth; and

(3) to identify ways in which professional associations and WHO collaborating centres involved in maternal and newborn health can partner with governments in making pregnancy safer and in reducing maternal, perinatal and neonatal mortality.

The consultation targeted seven priority countries in the Western Pacific Region: Cambodia, China, the Lao People's Democratic Republic, Mongolia, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines and VietNam. The maternal, perinatal and newborn mortality rates in these countries are unacceptably high despite strong government commitment and purposeful activities. Mortality rates can be reduced through specific and deliberate efforts that focus on providing universal access to skilled attendants during pregnancy and at childbirth. Unfortunately, the health systems of these priority countries lack competent, motivated and supported health workers. Much more needs to be done to strengthen human resources in the health systems of the priority countries.

WHO has developed and disseminated several reports, strategy papers, manuals and guidelines, such as the evidence-based guidelines on the Integrated Management of Pregnancy and Childbirth (IMPAC). However, these guidelines have not been optimally disseminated and used by health professionals outside government institutions, such as obstetricians, nurses and midwives, who can contribute to making·pregnancy safer. The WHO collaborating centres involved in the areas of reproductive, maternal and child health can contribute towards human resource development in making pregnancy safer but have not been fully and directly involved in the use of these guidelines.

Thus, a consultation was organized for representatives of government, professional associations and collaborating centres to discuss these reports, strategy papers and guidelines; to share experiences and ideas; and to strengthen partnerships among them.

The three-day consultation was well received by the participants, and its objectives were met. The collaborating centres and professional associations (for obstetricians, gynaecologists, nurses and midwives) are now more aware of the ne~d for human resource development in making pregnancy safer, and of their roles in contributing towards this goal. - 2-

1. INTRODUCTION

A Consultation on Human Resource Development in Making Pregnancy Safer was held from 26 to 28 September 2006 in Shanghai, China. The consultation focused on human resource development in Cambodia, China, the Lao People's Democratic Republic, Mongolia, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines and VietNam. In these seven priority countries, maternal and newborn health status is still unsatisfactory, and maternal and perinatal mortality rates are still unacceptably high. Much more could be done in strengthening human resources if governments collaborated with professional associations for obstetricians, gynaecologists, nurses and midwives, and with the WHO collaborating centres involved in maternal and newborn health. WHO has formulated global and regional strategies for making pregnancy safer, and has developed several manuals and guidelines for the same purpose, such as the evidence-based Integrated Management of Pregnancy and Childbirth (IMPAC) guidelines. This consultation provided a platform for professional associations and collaborating centres to identify their roles in making pregnancy safer, especially in the area of human resource development, including the use ofthe evidence-based guidelines.

1.1 Objectives

(1) To share experiences and lessons on providing universal coverage of skilled attendants, capacity-building and research on reduction of maternal, perinatal and newborn mortality and morbidity.

(2) To familiarize the participants with the WHO global and regional strategies on making pregnancy safer, and the manuals and guidelines on integrated management of pregnancy and childbirth.

(3) To identify ways in which professional associations and WHO collaborating centres involved in maternal and newborn health can partner with governments in making pregnancy safer and in reducing maternal, perinatal and newborn mortality.

1.2 Participants

The consultation was attended by 30 temporary advisers who were representatives of professional associations (e.g. obstetricians, perinatologists, midwives), national policy-makers and managers ofhealth programmes (e.g. health system reporting, human resource development, making pregnancy safer), and the directors or managers of 10 collaborating centres on maternal and newborn health care. A consultant, six observers from relevant institutions and nine WHO staff members also participated (Annex 1).

1.3 Appointment of Chairperson, Vice-Chairperson and Rapporteur

Dr Wang Bin of China was appointed Chairperson; Dr Mario Festin, Board Secretary, Philippine Obstetrical and Gynecological Society, Inc., as Vice-Chairperson; and Dr Elizabeth Bennett, Key Centre for Women's Health in Society, WHO Collaborating Centre for Women's Health, as Rapporteur.

1.4 Organization

The agenda and programme of the three-day consultation are in Annex 2 - 3 -

2. PROCEEDINGS

2.1 Opening ceremony

Dr Henk Bekedam, WHO Representative for China, gave opening remarks on behalf of Dr Shigeru Omi, WHO Regional Director for the Western Pacific (Annex 3). Professor Cai Wei, Director-General of Shanghai Municipal Health Bureau, gave a welcome address.

2.2 Overview ofthe consultation

Dr Narimah A win, WHO consultant, outlined the activities and processes of the consultation, which were designed to meet the objectives. They were as follows:

(1) participant presentations (oral and poster) that focused on human resource development in making pregnancy safer;

(2) presentation of background papers-WHO Global Strategy for Making Pregnancy Safer, WHO Regional Strategy for Making Pregnancy Safer, and WHO Regional Strategy on Human Resource Development-followed by a synthesis and summary;

(3) familiarization with the IMPAC guidelines;

( 4) presentation of "best practices" by Mongolia, the Philippines and VietNam;

(5) two group work sessions: (a) participants work as country teams, and (b} participants work as organization teams;

( 6) brief review of the roles of collaborating centres; and

(7) field visit to a women and children's hospital.

2.3 Presentation of background papers

The Monir Islam, Director, Making Pregnancy Safer, WHO, Geneva gave the presentation on the global situation on human resourc.e development in making pregnancy safer and Dr Pang Ruyan, Regional Adviser, Reproductive Health and Ms Kathleen Fritsch, Regional Adviser, Nursing, gave the regional situation on making pregnancy safer and human resource development, respectively (Annex 4).

2.3.1 WHO Global Strategy for Making Pregnancy Safer

Dr Islam gave an overview ofthe state of maternal health, especially maternal mortality, throughout the world. He underscored the need for a global strategy in making pregnancy safer through his paper "Skilled Care At Every Birth: A Public Health Strategy". Relevant data on the global situation were given, with emphasis on unacceptable interregional and intercountry differences, largely due to the influence of poverty. Other evidence presented showed a correlation between maternal mortality and human resources, underscoring the importance of adequate quantity, distribution and competence of human resources for health in the effort to reduce maternal mortality. Dr Islam presented the work done in Uganda to demonstrate the importance of human resource mapping. He also reminded the participants ofthe importance of -4-

having a health system that could ensure the three basic elements of making pregnancy safer, i.e. recognition, referral and responsiveness. In conclusion, he described the following ways in which WHO helps health systems to promote skilled care at every delivery: advocacy, providing technical support (upgrading evidence-based norms, guidelines and developing programmatic tools), building national capacity, overcoming financial barriers, improving family and community response, building partnerships and monitoring progress.

2.3 .2 Regional Strategy for Making Pregnancy Safer

Dr Pang Ruyan described the situation of maternal and child health in the Western Pacific Region, with emphasis on maternal mortality rates and the vast differences among countries. Every year in the Region, there are 40 to 50 million pregnancies, with 30 000 to 50 000 maternal deaths. More than 90% of these deaths occur in the seven priority countries-Cambodia, China, the Lao People's Democratic Republic, Mongolia, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines and VietNam. She emphasized that in these countries, the poor and disadvantaged suffer the most. She highlighted the correlation between maternal mortality and the presence of a skilled birth I attendant at delivery. She also reiterated that skilled birth attendants must be able to deliver normal deliveries, recognize problems, and refer patients at the right time to the right facility. She described the current situation of health workers in the priority countries, noting inadequate and inappropriate training, poor access to information and knowledge, insufficient number and uneven distribution, low motivation and lack of supervision. She touched upon four human resource indicators: availability, competence, responsiveness and productivity. She concluded by outlining the five key elements of the strategic plan for the Western Pacific Region for 2006-2010:

(1) promote government commitment, politically and financially;

(2) provide support in the use and adaptation of evidence-based guidelines and standards;

(3) provide support in the training of skilled birth attendants;

(4) provide support to improve monitoring and evaluation; and

(5) strengthen partnerships in making pregnancy safer, and for this, there is need to optimize the resources of the professional bodies and collaborating centres.

2.3.3 Regional Strategy for Human Resource Development

Ms Kathleen Fritsch, Regional Adviser, Nursing, stressed that the performance of health systems depends considerably on human resources for health (HRH) and that health workforce

I The term "skilled birth attendant" refers exclusively to people with midwifery skills (e.g. doctors, midwives, nurses) who have been trained to proficiently manage normal deliveries and diagnose or refer obstetric complications. Ideally, skilled birth attendants live in, and are part of, the community they serve. They must be able to manage normal labour and delivery, recognize the onset of complications, perform essential interventions, start treatment, and supervise the referral of mother and baby for interventions that are beyond their competence or not possible in the particular setting. - 5 -

expenditures may account for 45% to 70% or more of government health expenditures. As in the previous two presentations, the correlation between HRH density and mortality rates was shown. The trends in HRH were described from the epidemiological, technological, social, economical, political and professional ,aspects. The key issues ofHRH were highlighted: overall shortages; skill imbalance; workforce maldistribution; poor remuneration and poor motivation; weaknesses in education and training; and limited capacity in policy development, planning and management. The presenter gave a brief overview of the regional strategy document, covering its vision, mission, framework for action and the three key result areas: (1) health workforce response to population health needs; (2) health workforce development, deployment and retention; and (3) health workforce governance and management). Ms Fritsch posed four key questions: (I) What is working? (2) What isn't working as well as it ought to be? (3) What are we doing and what difference is it making? (4)What aren't we doing that we should be doing? She concluded by summarizing the role of nursing and midwifery in making pregnancy safer: (1) nurses comprise the largest workforce group in most countries, (2) nurses and midwives provide the majority of health care services at all levels, and (3) nurses and midwives make measurable improvements in health care, and these are tangible.

2.3.4 Synthesis and summary

Dr Narimah A win synthesized the three background papers, thus merging the strategies for the two themes of"making pregnancy safer" and "human resource development". This was premised on the following two interrelated concepts: (1) making pregnancy safer has many strategies, and one of them is strengthening human resources; and (2) human resource development in health needs to be done for all facets of health, and one of them is making pregnancy safer. Besides the three background documents presented at this consultation, many other source documents are relevant to the subject, and they include: The World Health Report 2005; The World Health Report 2006; the May 2006 issue of Reproductive Health Matters, which was titled "Human Resource For Sexual and Reproductive Health Care", and the WHO document "Making Pregnancy Safer: The Critical Role ofthe Skilled Attendant". Dr A win also informed the participants that there are other guidelines in making pregnancy safer, such as the Integrated Management ofPregnancy and Childbirth (IMP A C) guidelines.

In many of the priority countries, making-pregnancy-safer initiatives are hindered by a lack of resources, especially human resources. One way of optimizing resources is to identify where these resources are and to involve them in the initiatives. Two such resources, which have not been fully utilized, are the WHO collaborating centres and professional organizations of obstetricians, gynaecologists, nurses and midwives, which can work with governments to make pregnancy safer. This consultation is therefore a good start to formally bring these partners on board so that they are made aware ofthe importance of human resource development in making pregnancy safer, and this will lead to better cooperation, especially when their roles are more clearly defined and described.

2.4. Presentation by WHO collaborating centres

Representatives of eight collaborating centres, and another centre that will soon be designated, made oral presentations supported by poster presentations (Annex 5). The centres described the work that they were doing in the areas of reproductive, maternal, perinatal, newborn and child health. They especially focused on their research and training in the areas of safe motherhood and making pregnancy safer. It was clear that, within this common area of health, there are differences among these centres in terms of the exact scope of work and focus area. From the presentations, it became clear that the collaborating centres have the interest and capacity to do more in strengthening human resource development in making pregnancy safer, - 6 -

and that there is great potential for them to be partners with the governments of the priority countries, although many of them highlighted the need for capacity strengthening

2.5 Presentations by professional associations

The associations of obstetricians, gynaecologists, midwives and nurses made a Joint presentation for each of the priority countries. The presentation focused on the main area of work of these associations, what they are currently doing on safe motherhood, and what form of cooperation with the government currently exists. There appears to be vast differences in the maturity and scope of work carried out by these organizations in the seven priority countries. A common theme is the shortage of skilled professionals. For example, the Lao People's Democratic Republic has only 35 skilled birth attendants, and Papua New Guinea has only 19 obstetricians. All the presentations highlighted the importance of having a stronger link between them and the governments in the quest for making pregnancy safer. Annex 6 shows the presentation of each country's professional association.

2.6 Introduction to and familiarization with the IMPAC guidelines

Dr Jelka Zupan, Department of Making Pregnancy Safer, WHO, stated that the objectives of this session were: to impart information on the IMPAC guidelines as to their content, assumptions and structure; to indicate the best use of these guidelines; and to obtain feedback from the participants as potential users. Dr Zupan introduced the Integrated Management of Pregnancy and Childbirth (IMP A C) care for mothers and newborn infants, its objectives and WHO's priority areas for country support (Annex 7).

She then stated that these guidelines are:

(1) a model public health tool that offers a limited range of carefully selected interventions that cater to most health needs of pregnant women and newborns;

(2) based on the concept of "essential care", which is globally applicable, and can be used for guidance for national policy, programmes and plans;

(3) problem (and not disease) centred;

(4) based on a broad public health perspective, offering a continuum coordinated and integrated care with cost-effective interventions requiring implicit standards of the health care delivery system;

(5) based on evidence that has been systematically and diligently reviewed; and

(6) provide sufficient operational details that are generic and flexible enough to be adapted to local situations, and can be used by practitioners, managers, policy-makers and teachers of the relevant disciplines in medicine.

She emphasized that a permanent and functioning health system is needed to effectively carry out the guidelines.

Dr Zupan then guided the participants on each ofthe three IMPAC guidelines:

(1) Pregnancy, Childbirth, Postpartum and Newborn Care (PCPNC);

(2) Managing Complications of Pregnancy and Childbirth (MCPC); and -7-

(3) Managing Newborn Problems (MNP).

For each of these guidelines, she explained the aims, target audience, contents, how they were developed, principles, structure and arrangement, and how they are to be used. Finally, so as not to have unreasonable expectations from these guidelines, Dr Zupan also cautioned what these guidelines are not. Case studies were used to familiarize the participants with these guidelines.

2. 7 Presentation of "best practices"

Three countries presented their "best practices" (Annex 8) to demonstrate how specific initiatives have contributed towards human resource development in making pregnancy safer:

(1) Mongolia- Expansion of Distance Learning on PCPNC;

(2) Philippines -Basic Obstetric Emergency Care; and

(3) VietNam- Module on Care for Newborn.

The participants found these examples of"best practices" to be useful information, and considered them applicable to some of the situations in the priority countries. They learnt that a best practice is feasible in any of the priority countries, and that these experiences can be exchanged among the countries.

2.8 The role and responsibilities of WHO collaborating centres

A background paper on WHO collaborating centres, which was prepared by Dr Reijo Salmela, Medical Officer, Situation Analysis, for Policy, WHO, was distributed to the participants. Dr Pang Ruyan gave a brief overview of the paper, which outlined the definition of a collaborating centre, the criteria for eligibility, the designation andre-designation processes and the management of the centres. Representatives of the collaborating centres expressed their satisfaction with the support given by the Regional Office.

2.9 Group work

Two group work sessions were conducted: (1) Partners in country; and (2) Helping each other.

2.9. I Partners in country

The participants were divided into seven working groups by country. For China and the Philippines, the working groups included professional associations and collaborating centre(s) stationed in those countries. For the other five countries, collaborating centres were assigned to other countries.

Each country discussed human resource development in making pregnancy safer, focusing on the allocation, training and incentives of the midwives. All of the countries concluded there is a shortage of midwives in the rural areas, that few midwives in the rural areas receive training, and that their working conditions are very poor.

When asked how the partners could contribute in the human resource development, the country teams gave several comments and suggestions: (1) establish national and local committees on making pregnancy safer or reproductive health, which should include professional - 8 -

associations, nongovernmental organizations and WHO collaborating centres; (2) promote the evidence-based manuals (PCPNC, MCPC and MNP); and (3) invite professional associations to be involved in the training, monitoring and supervision. The countries requested WHO to provide more financial support to the collaborating centres, and also asked the centres to report their work to their respective governments annually.

2.9.2 Helping each other

The three working groups for this session were assembled by domain, i.e. collaborating centre, profession association and government.

Participants from the WHO collaborating centres reported their group work on the following areas:

(1) How can WHO collaborating centres support governments, WHO country offices and regional offices in implementing the strategies for maternal and perinatal mortality reductions?

(a) Identify their strengths and weaknesses and the delineations of what they can do.

(b) Work in accordance with its terms of reference, especially ifthey include making pregnancy safer.

(c) Explore funding sources for skills training and getting authority from the government for personnel to participate.

(d) Coordinate with WHO Headquarters and form a network of collaborating centres in the Region for immediate support from experts.

(2) What should they do in the next five years to increase the coverage and quality of care provided by WHO collaborating centres.

(a) Advertise their training programmes on the Internet and accept or help match trainees.

(b) Post other information relevant to making pregnancy safer on the Internet.

(c) Increase cooperation for in-country collaborating centres.

(d) Help with the dissemination of relevant information to districts and health centres.

(3) How can WHO collaborating centres support the adaptation, dissemination and use of WHO guidelines?

(a) Assist governments in developing a national policy and guideline that would pave the way for adaptation, dissemination and use of WHO guidelines and manuals.

(b) Help in the development ofthe adapted version.

(c) Help in monitoring the dissemination and use of the guidelines. - 9 -

(d) Help in funding training programmes and in matching trainees to collaborating centres that offer training.

Participants from the professional associations reported their group work on the following areas:

(1) How can professional organizations work together to achieve the United Nations Millennium Development Goals?

(a) Strengthen collaboration in terms of professional activities, especially in improving training and services.

(b) Improve coverage and number of membership, especially in underserved areas.

(c) Form an alliance to share experiences and materials.

(d) Use e-mail and newsletters to communicate.

(2) What should professional organizations plan to do in the next five years?

(a) Distribute information on updates and new initiatives, especially among members of the Region.

(b) Provide continuing education to doctors, midwives, nurses, etc., especially to those who have not had training for a long time.

(c) Promote the importance ofthe professional organization in the regulation and improvement of the practice.

(d) Conduct and disseminate research findings on good practices.

(e) Explore funding sources and assist the government in the distribution of the funding.

(3) What is the role of professional organizations in the implementation ofWHO guidelines?

(a) Assist WHO or the government in updating, revising and/or reviewing WHO guidelines.

(b) Advocate the WHO guidelines to policy-makers for curricular change, programme implementation, service provision and professional regulation.

(c) Actively participate in the policy-making process, especially on making pregnancy safer (as an invitee or volunteer).

They also requested the WHO Regional Office to facilitate the formation of regional networks for sharing and communicating experiences and good practices. - 10-

2.10 Evaluation

On the last day of the workshop a feedback questionnaire was distributed to the participants. Twenty-one out of26 respondents thought that the three objectives of the consultation were met. Twenty-five participants indicated that they were able to express their ideas and to exchange their knowledge and experience with other participants.

Twenty-five respondents indicated that they learnt new skills and concepts that could be used in their respective countries, i.e. how to use the IMP AC guidelines; how to apply the guidelines on pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum and newborn care; and how to work with the WHO collaborating centres in their countries. When asked to rate their previous knowledge of the WHO IMPAC tools and the regional strategies, seven out of26 said they knew a lot, 14 had some previous knowledge, four knew only a little and one knew nothing at all.

Twenty-four out of26 participants mentioned that the poster presentation was very useful. They were also satisfied with the oral presentations, lectures from the resource persons, group work and discussions on the recommendations.

All of the respondents were satisfied with the working documents that were distributed. Twenty-one participants were very satisfied with administrative arrangements for the field visit and their accommodations.

2.11 Field visit

A visit was made to the International Peace Hospital in Shanghai. The hospital was built in 1952 with funds donated by the wife of China's leader at that time. The Soviet Union had given her money in appreciation of her commendable international work. The hospital is an extremely impressive institution that provides a wide range of maternal and child health services. The visit benefited the participants greatly.

2.12 Closing ceremony

On the third day, after the presentation on and discussion of the recommendations (see next section), the consl)ltation was formally closed, with a simple ceremony officiated by Dr Linda Milan, Director of the Division of Building Healthy Communities and Population, WHO Regional Office for the Western Pacific. The Director expressed her satisfaction with the successful conduct of the consultation, which met its objectives, and with the conclusions made.

3. CONCLUSIONS

The main conclusions of the workshop were as follows:

(1) All ofthe objectives were met. Participants gained a deeper understanding of human resource development in making pregnancy safer, and were able to identifY and clarifY their roles in this area.

(2) Human resource development for making pregnancy safer still remains a challenge in the priority countries. - 11 -

(3) The WHO collaborating centres and professional associations are more aware of the need for human resource development in making pregnancy safer, and of their roles in this area.

(4) Partnerships among the stakeholders already exist, but they need to be strengthened.

(5) Governments of priority countries are urged to continue to accord a high pnonty to maternal and child health and making pregnancy safer.

(6) Governments should increase the number of skilled birth attendants as a way to improve the human resourc.e situation in making pregnancy safer. This may require increasing the capacity of training institutions in these countries, making the midwifery profession more attractive to young people who have completed school and nurses, avoiding the placement/use of midwives exclusively in administration functions, and curbing the migration of midwives out of the countries.

(7) Governments should take steps to ensure that skilled birth attendants are distributed appropriately. They should consider doing an analysis of this distribution, such as a mapping of human resources, for better planning and management. Efforts should also be made to enhance their competence, responsiveness and motivation.

(8) Governments should consider giving performance-based incentives to health workers involved in making pregnancy safer, especially to those in rural areas. Health authorities should strengthen supervision, monitoring and evaluation in all making-pregnancy-safer activities, as well as enhance the technical quality of care, which may require processes such as licensing, accreditation and credentialing of facilities, personnel and processes.

(9) In-country partnerships between the government and professional associations of obstetricians/gynaecologists and of midwives, and between the government and WHO collaborating centres (where they exist) should be strengthened. An appropriate mechanism for these partnerships within the country should be identified. It is further recommended that the government should play a stewardship role in these partnerships.

( 10) Similar in-country partnerships should be forged and strengthened among the collaborating centres, and among the professional associations of obstetricians/gynaecologists and of midwives. A mechanism for effective communication should be created, using global networks such as International Federation of Gynaecologists and Obstetricians (FIGO) and International Confederation of Nurses (ICN).

(11) The evidence-based guidelines in making pregnancy safer, such as the Integrated Management of Pregnancy and Childbirth (IMPA C) guidelines, should to be used for developing national guidelines for two levels of care. Collaborating centres and professional associations are also encouraged to use these guidelines for their own purposes and their own target groups such as medical, nursing and midwifery schools.

(12) Collaborating centres should continue the commendable work that is being done in research and generation of evidence, in areas related to making pregnancy safer, and in skill development and training of health personnel for enhancing competence in making pregnancy safer.

(13) Professional associations should continue efforts in skill development and training of health professionals, among their own members, as well as assisting the government in such activities. They should also play an advocacy role for making pregnancy safer. - 12-

(14) Countries should continue to share and learn from one another's "best practices" in making pregnancy safer, thereby enhancing south-south cooperation.

(15) WHO at all levels should continue to provide technical assistance and other needed support in human resource development in making pregnancy safer to the priority countries, to collaborating centres and to professional associations. - 13-

Regional Consultation on Human Resource Development in Making Pregnancy Safer Speech by Dr Henk Bekedam 26 September 2006

Mr Cai Wei, Deputy Director General of Shanghai Municipal Health Bureau. Distinguished participants, ladies and gentlemen. Good morning!

I welcome all the participan ts who have travelled to Shanghai to participate in this Consultation. First of all, I would like to thank and express my great appreciation to the organizers of this meeting. In particularly , we are very grateful to the Government of the People's Repl!blic of China , the Ministry of Health, the Shanghai Municipality and, the Shanghai Municipal Health Bureau, for hosting this important meeting that will focus on the importance of human resources in making pregnancy safe.

Childbirth is the most dangerous moment in life- for both mother and baby. Whilst the majority of deLi veries take place without complications, it is critical that when treatment is needed, it is provided without delay and with expertise. It is hardly an exaggeration to say that making pregnancy and chil dbirth safer is also about safeguarding the of our world. future

Across the Western Pacific Region, there are 40 to 50 million pregnancies every year with more than 300.000 newborns dying within the first day of birth. As well, there are up to 50,000 maternal deaths with 40 per cent occurring in just five countries - Cambodia, the Lao Peop le's Democratic Republic, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines and VietNam. China's maternal mortality ratio is relatively low with 48 deaths per 100,000 live births. But- due to its size- China makes a substantial contribution to the remaining maternal mortality in the region.

Although it is difficult to predict who will experience childbirth complications, when they do present, maternal deaths and disabilities are avoidable and the medical solutions are welllmown. We know that there are three main reasons for morbidity and mortality during pregnancy or bi1ih- hemorrhage, .eclampsia and sepsis. And we know how to treat and manage those conditions.

The critical factors in managing the risk of childbirth are the presence of skilled birth attendants and a functional health system that can support the necessary treatment. A skilled birth attendant holds the key in recognizing and treating complications and, 'vhen necessary facilitating timely access to em erge~1 cy obstetric care. Without the expertise of a skilled attendant, women experiencing pregnancy or childbirth complications often have no chance. Access to skilled birth attendants can make the difference between life and death.

It's fair to say that access to skilled attendants and functional health systems across the region can help to prevent tens of thousands of deaths every year. Yet in Can1bodia and the Lao People's pemocratic Republic, over 90 per cent deliveries take place at home without skilled attendants. - 24 -

Armex 3

The challenge we face is not just medical or technical, it is strategic and organizational -how to make sure more women in the developing world can access skilled attendants.

Having access to skilled attendance is therefore a priority of the WHO's Making Pregnancy Safer strategy (2006 and 201 0). Over the next five years our most important task is to secure government commitment politically and financially, with the clear objective of ensuring skilled care at every birth, within the context of a continuum of care.

But developing countries have many specific human resource developmental barriers that we need to overcome to ensure that skilled birth attendants can effectively work in helping to prevent maternal deaths. Over the coming days you will be reflecting on the following challenges.

Firstly, a global shortage in health workers has led to many well trained midwives moving to richer countries, which offer more attractive remuneration, thereby depleting poorer countries ability to tackle their health challenges. This is particularly imminent in the Philippines where many nurses and midwives have migrated to Europe and the US.

Secondly, skill imbalances, with doctors and specialists over-represented at the expense of community-based health workers -a fact that is particularly true here in China, which has more doctors than nurses.

Thirdly, in nearly all countries there is an uneven distribution of skills with an over­ supply in urban centers and an under-supply in remote areas where communities and health systems are most vulnerable.

Fourthly, poor work environments- including low salaries, inadequate supplies and facilities, and poor management- mean that Health cannot attract and retain sufficient numbers of skilled workers.

And last but not least, a weak knowledge base for medical persmmel hampers the delivery of quality services.

So what can we do? The good news is that these problems have solutions. The bad news is that the answers involve sustained and committed effort. There are no short­ cuts.

Developing comprehensive health work-force strategies and undertaking forward planning will go a long way in addressing these challenges at a strategic level. Generally it requires a willingness on the part of governments to invest and ensure equity in the delivery of health services. And we must work to bring together the health, educational, and fmancial sectors to achieve three core objectives- coverage, moth·ation and competence. Coverage strategies promote numeric adequacy, appropriate skill mixes and outreach to vulnerable communities. Motivation strategies focus on adequate remuneration, a positive work environment, opportunities for career development, and supportive health systems. Competencies are advanced through educating for appropriate attitudes and skills, creating leadership, entrepreneurship, and innovation. - 25 -

Annex 3

Of these, motivation and competence are key aspects of human resource development for making pregnancy safer. Better pay and proper training are two simple and practical measures that can make an immediate difference to making pregnancy safer in the developing world.

Over the coming three days you will be discussing many of these elemt:uls ami more. Every country has its own story to tell- this is a great opportunity to share the challenges and successes of overcoming barriers to making pregnancy safer.

There is no panacea. Different measures will work in different countries. In Cambodia, where I worked prior to China, the contracting experience showed that offering a guaranteed living wage in remote areas made a difference - almost overnight -to skilled attendant coverage in remote areas. No doubt these are the kind of experiences you will be sharing and discussing over the course of this consultation as you consider on the yvay ahead.

This workshop will also consider the role of collaborating centers and national professional organizations in developing and maintaining maternal and child health standards. We strongly hope this workshop will support a strengthened role for these bodies in your respective countries, particularly in areas like developing and endorsing guid'elines and supporting training.

On behalf of WHO, I'd like to thank you all for your commitment to this issue and encourage your endeavours. I wish you fruitful discussions over the next three days and look forward to hearing the results.

Thank you.

Lessons Learned: Problems, Hindrances and Obstacles

@There is a need for clearer delineation of responsibilities among @project members from WHO, PGH and DOH with regards to the MCPC. @The fellowship training could be expanded further if there was a specific budget allotted for postgraduate fellows-in-training. @There is a need for more linkages with district and regional hea~h centers in order to make the training programs more attuned with the needs of the country. @Greater research output can be achieved if more funding could be allotted for the implementation of research projects. - 82-
