There are a lot of programs involved in the Service Delivery networking of the
hospital. One of which is the Maternal, Newborn, and Child Health and Nutrition
(MNCHN) which is aimed at achieving the twin goals of maternal mortality reduction and
neonatal mortality reduction, with emphasis on the biological link of mother and child. It
intends to bridge the gap between the existing Safe Motherhood Program and Child
Survival Program.
Is the Service Delivery Network system in lined with the Department of Health
(DOH) Programs and mandate. Expound your answers.
Yes, I believe so. The DOH recognizes the need to push with the 2016 – 2022
Philippine Health Agenda’s on all Filipinos for equitable geographic and financial access
to comprehensive range of quality health services. For instance, in MNCHN, they
particularly aim to reduce mortality among mothers, newborns and children below 5
years old).
What are the gaps identified between the actual process and the DOH mandates.
These gaps result to poor access and utilization of childbirth services that
consequently contribute to the slow decline of maternal and neonatal mortality.
