Program Note: Using UN process indicators to assess needs in emergency obstetric services: Gabon, Guinea-Bissau, and
1UNFPA--TSD, Geneva, Switzerland. fauveau@unfpa.org
Purpose:
We report on assessments of the needs for emergency obstetric care in 3 West African countries.
Methods:
All (or almost all) medical facilities were visited to determine whether there are sufficient facilities of adequate quality to manage the expected number of obstetric emergencies.
Results:
Medical facilities able to provide emergency obstetric care were poorly distributed and often were unable to provide needed procedures. Too few obstetricians and other providers, lack of on-the-job training and supervision were among the challenges faced in these countries.
