The Application of Maternal Death Surveillance and Review in Acute Humanitarian Responses

Listen to this summary

The authors investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of implementing a Rapid Maternal Death Surveillance and Review (R-MDSR) system in acute humanitarian crises, specifically in Sudan during the 2023 conflict. They highlight the challenges faced and the importance of adapting maternal health monitoring tools to inform timely interventions, ultimately aiming to improve maternal and newborn health outcomes in fragile settings where traditional methods are often impractical.
