MOMENTUM Safe Surgery in Family Planning and Obstetrics
IntraHealth International is a core partner to EngenderHealth for the Moving Integrated, Quality Maternal, Newborn, and Child Health and Family Planning and Reproductive Health Services to Scale (MOMENTUM) Project, which is focusing on increasing the capacity of host country institutions and local organizations to strengthen surgical safety within maternal health and family planning programs by promoting evidence-based approaches and testing new innovations.
This global safe surgery project, which is part of the MOMENTUM suite of USAID projects, promotes awareness of, and equitable access to, high-quality care for voluntary, consented safe surgeries for Caesarean delivery, fistula repair, childbirth-related hysterectomy, long-acting reversible contraception, and permanent family planning methods. IntraHealth will lead crosscutting technical assistance for local organization capacity building, sustainability frameworks, supply chain management, and human resources for health.
