To ensure greater accountability for high quality care, effective coverage measures are now recommended so that measures of access to care are adjusted for the quality of care provided. Despite global agreement on the need to apply an effective coverage cascade, operationalising the cascade is problematic and has been identified as a research priority. In this seminar we will reflect on the feasibility and utility of generating effective coverage measures for childbirth care in Gombe State, Nigeria.

This webinar will be led by Dr Josephine Exley
