This includes making deliberate efforts towards mitigating maternal morbidity and mortality in the country. Various programs have been implemented, aiming at strengthening health systems and capacity building and awareness of the community in taking appropriate actions towards improving health outcomes throughout the pregnancy and delivery journey. We have observed gradual increase of employment of skilled health care workers at all levels of health facilities, massive health infrastructure improvement, reinforcement of referral system through innovation solutions such as M-MAMA initiative, to mention a few. This is commendable work that has laid the foundation for other stakeholders, to support complementary interventions towards improved maternal and newborn health care which yet still our country indicators are not appealing.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-853bf4b elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"853bf4b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.20.0 - 11-03-2024 *\/\n.elementor-heading-title{padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title[class*=elementor-size-]>a{color:inherit;font-size:inherit;line-height:inherit}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-small{font-size:15px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-medium{font-size:19px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-large{font-size:29px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xl{font-size:39px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xxl{font-size:59px}<\/style><h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Maternal Mortality Rates:<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-91ee737 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"91ee737\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\n<p>As per the 2021 report by Maternal and Perinatal Death Surveillance and Response (MPDSR), the top five regions with high maternal mortality rates in Tanzania includes Dar es Salaam with (12.72%), Mwanza (10.77%), Morogoro (7.18%), Rukwa (4.66%) and Kigoma (4.53%).

In addition, we observe Tanzania reporting a rise of deliveries attended by skilled health workers, from 63.5% in 2016 to 85% in 2022. Furthermore, as per country\u2019s maternal death reviews, it is reported that about 80% of deaths are attributed to gaps in our health workers competence, practice, and attitude. It is on this fact that enhancement of skills (upskilling) of our existing nurses is critical.\u00a0 \u00a0The Mkapa Foundation and NBC collaborative approach aims at sharpening and developing further skills of the nurses working in the primary health facilities to be able to perform midwifery duties, which is of utmost importance.<\/p>\n<p>The 2-year scholarship project will cover full-time 12-month Diploma level training in Midwifery, for registered nurses, currently working in the 2 regions of Morogoro and Mwanza.\u00a0 Each region shall benefit 50 registered nurses, originating from government primary healthcare facilities.
