  • Improving Maternal Health Services Through Social Accountability Interventions in Nepal: an Analytical Review of Existing Litera
    Nepal et al. Public Health Reviews (2020) 41:31 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40985-020-00147-0 REVIEW Open Access Improving maternal health services through social accountability interventions in Nepal: an analytical review of existing literature Adweeti Nepal1* , Santa Kumar Dangol2 and Anke van der Kwaak3 * Correspondence: anepal7@gmail. com Abstract 1Save the Children, Surkhet, Karnali Province, Nepal Background: The persistent quality gap in maternal health services in Nepal has Full list of author information is resulted in poor maternal health outcomes. Accordingly, the Government of Nepal available at the end of the article (GoN) has placed emphasis on responsive and accountable maternal health services and initiated social accountability interventions as a strategical approach simultaneously. This review critically explores the social accountability interventions in maternal health services in Nepal and its outcomes by analyzing existing evidence to contribute to the informed policy formulation process. Methods: A literature review and desk study undertaken between December 2018 and May 2019. An adapted framework of social accountability by Lodenstein et al. was used for critical analysis of the existing literature between January 2000 and May 2019 from Nepal and other low-and-middle-income countries (LMICs) that have similar operational context to Nepal. The literature was searched and extracted from database such as PubMed and ScienceDirect, and web search engines such as Google Scholar using defined keywords. Results: The study found various social accountability interventions that have been initiated by GoN and external development partners in maternal health services in Nepal. Evidence from Nepal and other LMICs showed that the social accountability interventions improved the quality of maternal health services by improving health system responsiveness, enhancing community ownership, addressing inequalities and enabling the community to influence the policy decision-making process.
