    The World Health Organization aims to eliminate maternal deaths during pregnancy and childbirth. In 2021, the Sorsogon Provincial Health Office recorded 136 maternal deaths and 21 neonatal deaths, higher than the previous year. In 2020, JHPIEGO partnered with Sorsogon to address maternal and neonatal mortality through training healthcare workers and improving health facilities. As a result, maternal and neonatal mortality significantly decreased. With limited funds, JHPIEGO trained providers in emergency management and helped health facilities qualify for maternal health emergencies, reducing mortality rates and establishing Sorsogon as a model for quality maternal care.

    NO MOTHER SHOULD DIE IN PREGNANCY AND CHILDBIRTH is the vision of the

    World Health Organization (WHO) that has become one of their priority as of 2021.

    The Sorsogon Provincial Health Office has recorded about 136 cases of maternal and
    21 neonatal deaths among its constituents in 2021, numbers higher than the previous
    year’s record. In 2020, the John Hopkins Program for International Education in
    Gynecology and Obstetrics (JHPIEGO), forged a partnership with the provincial
    government of Sorsogon to address maternal and neonatal deaths in the province. In
    the ensuing years, the mortality among mothers during pregnancy and childbirth
    significantly decreased.

    With only a limited budget, Jhpiego was able to provide assistance to the Provincial
    Health Office (PHO) through a series of trainings for healthcare providers to equip them
    with skills in proper management and handling of maternal and neonatal emergencies in
    the province. Moreover, they have also provided assistance in capacitating health
    facilities in the province to qualify the standard for addressing maternal health
    emergencies including the provision of Cardiotocography (CTG) and fixing the referral
    system of patients among health facilities.

    Personally, I find the PHO of Sorsogon admirable for having this kind of initiative in
    addressing the issues regarding the increase of maternal and neonatal mortality rates in
    their province. This initiative did not only allow them to address the problem for what it
    currently is but it also allowed them to decrease the maternal and neonatal mortality
    rate in the future, and this is by having their healthcare workers undergo seminars from
    their international partner JHPIEGO. Through this training, their healthcare workers
    became even more equipped to address emergencies both maternal and neonatal. This
    is evidenced by the earned reputation of the province not just in the Bicol region but
    also in the entire nation for their best practices in delivering quality standard maternal
    health care.
