hRHR & JSANDS NEWSLETTER
Two IDRC-funded projects are currently under implementation in Jordan, the first project, establishing a Harmonized Reproductive Health Registry (hRHR) in Jordan to improve Maternal and Child Health, is being implemented by the Eastern Mediterranean Public Health Network (EMPHNET). The second project, implementing a Perinatal and Neonatal Mortality Surveillance and Auditing System in Jordan (JSANDS) is being implemented by Jordan University of Science and Technology (JUST). Both projects are implemented in collaboration with the Jordanian Ministry of Health.
The two projects maintain close coordination and continually share lessons learned to ensure the smooth operation of their newly developed systems. The two projects have implemented two distinct interventions that complement each other, where data and evidence generated through the two projects will aid in enhancing MCH in Jordan, thus contributing to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals, namely SDG 3: Ensure healthy lives and promote wellbeing for all at all ages, and SDG5: Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls.

A training workshop at Al-Karak Governmental Hospital for the death review committee

JSANDS team has conducted a training workshop at Al-Karak Governmental Hospital for the death review committee to train them on how to fill the JSANDS death review forms and how to conduct death reviewing meeting. The JSANDS team used both the “Stillbirth and Neonatal Mortality Audit – Meeting Minutes and Action Items Form” and the “Stillbirth and Neonatal Death Case Review Form” to familiarize the death review committee with the process of audit. The JSANDS team emphasized the importance of accurately and completely filling out these forms without any missing data to permit accurate data that can be used to identify the exact cause of death and on the importance of the regular meeting of the committee to discuss main causes of deaths and to identify possible modifiable factors and their recommendations for improvement.

JSANDS team visited Al-Karak Governmental Hospital on 23/07/2019, during the visit four PCs and 4G Wireless Routers were installed at different departments including the NICU, Pediatric, labor and quality management department. The team also conducted two training sessions. During the training sessions the contents of the webpage of JSAND System (www.jsands.jo) were discussed to allow the death review committee members and other healthcare professionals to get familiar with the process of registering all births, and most importantly to register and review all neonatal deaths and stillbirths.
