Objective To set up a global system for monitoring maternal and perinatal health in 54 countries worldwide. Methods The WHO Global Survey for Monitoring Maternal and Perinatal Health was implemented through a network of health institutions, selected using a stratified multistage cluster sampling design. Focused information on maternal and perinatal health was abstracted from hospital records and entered in a specially developed online data management system. Data were collected over a two- to three-month period in each institution. The project was coordinated by WHO and supported by WHO regional offices and country coordinators in Africa and the Americas. Findings The initial survey was implemented between September 2004 and March 2005 in the African and American regions. A total of 125 institutions in seven African countries and 119 institutions in eight Latin American countries participated. Conclusion This project has created a technologically simple and scientifically sound system for large-scale data management, which can facilitate programme monitoring in countries. Objectif Mettre en place dans 54 pays repartis dans l'ensemble du monde un systeme mondial de surveillance de la sante maternelle et perinatale. Methodes L'Enquete mondiale sur la surveillance de la sante maternelle et perinatale de I'OMS s'est operee par le biais d'un reseau d'etablissements de soins, selectionnes par echantillonnage en grappe stratifie a plusieurs niveaux. Une information ciblee sur la sante maternelle et perinatale a ete extraite des registres hospitaliers et entree dans un systeme de gestion des donnees en ligne, specialement developpe. Les donnees ont ete recueillies sur une periode de deux a trois mois dans chaque etablissement. Le projet a ete coordonne par I'OMS et appuye par les bureaux regionaux de I'OMS et par ses coordinateurs nationaux en Afrique et dans les Ameriques. Resultats L'enquete initiale a ete realisee entre septembre 2004 et mars 2005 en Afrique et dans les Ameriques. Ont participe au total a l'enquete 125 etablissements de sept pays africains et 119 etablissements de huit pays d'Amerique latine. Conclusion Ce projet a cree un systeme technologiquement simple et scientifiquement rigoureux pour la gestion grande echelle des donnees, pouvant faciliter la surveillance programmatique dans les pays. Objetivo Establecer un sistema mundial de vigilancia de la salud materna y perinatal en 54 paises de todo el mundo. Metodos La Encuesta mundial OMS de vigilancia de la salud materna y perinatal se llevo a cabo a traves de una red de instituciones sanitarias seleccionadas mediante muestreo polietapico estratificado por conglomerados. La informacion focalizada y resumida sobre la salud materna y perinatal extraida a partir de las historias clinicas se introdujo en un sistema de gestion de datos en linea especialmente desarrollado. A lo largo de un periodo de dos a tres meses se reunieron datos en cada institucion. El proyecto fue coordinado por la OMS y respaldado por las oficinas regionales de la OMS y los coordinadores en los paises en Africa y las Americas. Resultados La encuesta inicial se llevo a cabo entre septiembre de 2004 y marzo de 2005 en las regiones de Africa y de las Americas. Participaron en total 125 instituciones de siete paises africanos y 119 instituciones de ocho paises latinoamericanos. Conclusion Este proyecto ha generado un sistema tecnologicamente sencillo y cientificamente solido para gestionar datos a gran escala, lo cual puede facilitar la vigilancia de los programas en los paises.

Background Induction of labor is being increasingly used to prevent adverse outcomes in the mother and the newborn.This study assessed the prevalence of induction of labor and determinants of its use in Africa. Methods We performed secondary analysis of the WHO Global Survey of Maternal and Newborn Health of 2004 and 2005. The African database was analyzed to determine the use of induction of labor at the country level and indications for induction of labor. The un-met needs for specific obstetric indications and at country level were assessed. Determinants of use of induction of labor were explored with multivariate regression analysis. Results A total of 83,437 deliveries were recorded in the 7 participating countries. Average rate of induction was 4.4% with a range of 1.4 – 6.8%. Pre-labor rupture of membranes was the commonest indication for induction of labor. Two groups of women were identified: 2,776 women with indications had induction of labor while 7,996 women although had indications but labor was not induced. Induction of labor was associated with reduction of stillbirths and perinatal deaths [OR – 0.34; 95% CI (0.27 – 0.43)]. Unmet need for induction of labor ranged between 66.0% and 80.2% across countries. Determinants of having an induction of labor were place of residence, duration of schooling, type of health facility and level of antenatal care. Conclusion Utilization of induction of labor in health facilities in Africa is very low. Improvements in social and health infrastructure are required to reverse the high unmet need for induction of labor.
