Summary

This study tests whether a program that supports healthcare providers—through training on stress management, bias awareness, and teamwork, plus peer support groups and mentorship—can improve the quality of maternity care. Researchers will compare care in facilities where providers receive this program versus those that do not, focusing on whether women feel more respected, informed, and supported during childbirth. The trial involves thousands of women and providers in Kenya and Ghana.
