6.1.4 Maternal and child health reforms
Reforms related to maternal and child health have been closely linked with 
the above-mentioned reforms of primary and specialty care, in particular 
the Woman and Child Health Development project supported by the ADB. 
Earlier reform initiatives involved the establishment of centralized stand-alone 
maternity facilities and protocol-driven care processes. More recent reforms 
include the strengthening of maternal and child health services in primary care 
facilities and infrastructure investments into stand-alone maternity facilities 
at district and regional level, such as through the projects funded by the ADB, 
KfW and the EU.
