Popis: | In Pakistan, although coverage of Maternal, Newborn, and Child Health (MNCH) services has increased, the attributable disease burden remains high, indicating quality of these services remains suboptimal. To address this quality gap, challenges associated with the implementation of MNCH services will need to be addressed and effective use of the various MNCH guidelines will need to be supported, evaluated, and continuously improved. Even though the application of the field of implementation science and practice in the low- and middle-income settings has been limited, it is our belief, based on the experience described in this article that these competencies could enhance health professionals’ ability to, not only successfully integrate MNCH guidelines into health systems, but to also support their effective and sustainable use. To address this capacity gap in Pakistan, the Health Services Academy, as a member of the World Health Organization’s Human Reproduction Program (HRP) Alliance for Research Capacity Strengthening (RCS), has engaged, over the course of 16 months, in the ‘Implementation for the Professional Learner Program’ in 2019. This innovative implementation science and practice capacity-building program is developed and conducted by The World Health Organization (WHO) Collaborating Centre for Research Evidence for Sexual and Reproductive Health at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC). The initial cohort of this Program also included Palestine’s West Bank, and Egypt. The objectives of this Program were to cultivate implementation science and practice competencies, and to support the development of national, community-based or institution-based implementation teams. The expected outcomes of this program included, further enhancement of the capacity of local health professionals in implementation science, systemic change and the effective use of innovations in practice at sub-national/regional levels. |
