World Health Organization (WHO) Recruitment: For the World Health Organization (WHO) Recruitment 2023, applications are being accepted from interested and adequately qualified people.
World Health Organization
The World Health Organization (WHO) as the leader in global public health issues is committed to building future leaders in public health.
Facility-based childbirth is increasing globally and in Ghana, but high proportions of avoidable maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality still occur in facilities. A major roadblock identified is suboptimal Quality of Care for mothers and newborns. It has, therefore, become necessary to go beyond maximizing coverages of essential interventions to ensure the quality of care to accelerate reductions in maternal and perinatal mortality and severe morbidity.
WHO together with UNICEF and other partners launched the Network for Improving the Quality of Care (QoC) for Maternal, Newborn, and Child Health (MNCH). The vision of the WHO-led Quality of Care Network is a future where “Every mother and newborn receives quality care throughout pregnancy, childbirth and postnatal period”. The four strategic objectives of the network are centered on Leadership, Action, Learning, and Accountability. Ghana is among the 10 first-wave Network countries to implement this quality improvement initiative.
