Abstract
Poor quality of maternal and newborn health services in Uganda have resulted in low
maternal health service utilisation and high newborn mortality rates, both at home and
at health facilities. The support Future Health Systems (FHS) provided to health workers
to improve maternal health service delivery illustrates how a package of interventions
that equips health workers with the necessary knowledge, skills and equipment, supplies
and other non-financial incentives can improve the quality of maternal and newborn
health service delivery
