Opti\u2011MaP is a four\u2011year research project funded by the UK\u2019s National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR). It is designed to strengthen Maternal and Perinatal Death Surveillance and Response (MPDSR) systems in Ethiopia, Ghana, and Uganda.

Led by the University of Southampton and partners across Africa and Europe, we want to improve how deaths are reported, reviewed, and acted upon, and to assess if strengthening MPDSR can reduce new-born mortality.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
