Descripción del proyecto
Apoyar juntos a las nuevas madres
El período de embarazo y los dos primeros años de la vida del bebé son fundamentales para su futuro desarrollo, salud y bienestar. Las madres de los grupos vulnerables, en especial, necesitan un apoyo sostenible durante los mil primeros días de vida del bebé. Existen pruebas de que los modelos de apoyo grupal proporcionan una ayuda combinada eficaz que empodera a las madres, les ofrece experiencia, promueve el uso de servicios clínicos de calidad adecuada y fomenta los comportamientos saludables. Sin embargo, para crear un modelo de transformación son necesarios una sistematización, directrices y apoyo. El proyecto financiado con fondos europeos GC_1000 busca desarrollar estrategias que permitan la integración del apoyo grupal en los sistemas de salud pre y posnatales. Se crearán centros de prueba en cuatro países de rentas bajas y medias, así como en tres países de rentas altas, para permitir un suministro de servicios sostenibles y explorar las posibilidades de cara a su ampliación.
Objetivo
This project focusses on in-depth understanding and a systematic development of acceptable, feasible and sustainable strategies to integrate group care into health systems for antenatal and postnatal care during the first 1000 days. Group care is evidence-based, transforms the delivery of maternal, newborn and child health care and reduces inequities in services utilization, improves the quality of services, and makes a significant positive impact on the health and wellbeing of mothers, families and children. No evidence-based guidelines exist for health systems to establish and sustain this transformative model.
Care in a group changes the user(s)-provider experience, encourages self-care, is empowering and enables end-users to learn to increase healthy behaviours for themselves and for their children. It breaks the vicious circle of poor quality and inadequate utilization of services by offering comprehensive antenatal and postnatal care that meets the needs of the end users, care providers and health systems by combining quality clinical care with health promotion and health information activities.
GC_1000, demonstration sites in 4 low- and middle-income countries, as well as in 3 high-income countries in settings that serve the most vulnerable women and girls, will deliver group antenatal and postnatal care throughout the project. Specifically, GC_1000 will:
1. Implement group antenatal and postnatal care in selected demonstration sites in collaborative ways that set the groundwork for sustained service delivery and possibilities for scaling- up;
2. Analyze within country data that emerge from the implementation process to create country-specific blueprints for scale-up;
3. Use cross-country synthesis to develop a global implementation strategy toolbox for the adaptation, implementation and scale up of facilitated group care within the first 1000 days, particularly to reach the most vulnerable groups of women and girls globally.
