In 2007-2008, the Partnership for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health (PMNCH), Geneva, organized capacity-building workshops in Malawi, Burkina Faso, and Bangladesh. Their aim was to strengthen the role of healthcare professional associations (HCPAs) in national reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child health (RMNCH) planning and programs. The present cross-sectional study evaluated the outcomes of these regional workshops.
In 2010, a structured survey, telephone interviews of workshop participants, and a document review were used to analyze the impact of these workshops.
Overall, HCPAs in only 2 of the 17 participating countries (11.8%) were able to increase their impact on RMNCH planning. Although all countries developed action plans, 15 (88.2%) were unable to fully implement them despite increased interactions among HCPAs and with the Ministry of Health (MOH). Nine countries (52.9%) implemented their action plans partly. Engagement of the MOH emerged as a strong indicator of HCPA contribution toward RMNCH planning.
Strong and sustained follow-up by PMNCH, a clear sense of ownership by HCPAs, designated staff, and financial resources emerged as important determinants for the implementation of action plans. These workshops were generally successful in both encouraging HCPA collaboration and marching toward Millennium Development Goals 4 and 5.
2007-2008 年，母婴儿童健康伙伴关系组织（日内瓦）在马拉维、布基纳法索和孟加拉国举办了能力建设研讨会。其目的是加强医疗保健专业人员协会（HCPAs）在国家生殖、孕产妇、新生儿和儿童健康（RMNCH）规划和方案中的作用。本横断面研究评估了这些区域研讨会的结果。
2010 年，采用结构化调查、对研讨会参与者的电话访谈和文件审查，分析了这些研讨会的影响。
总体而言，在参与的 17 个国家中，只有 2 个（11.8%）的 HCPAs 能够提高其对 RMNCH 规划的影响。尽管所有国家都制定了行动计划，但由于 HCPAs 之间以及与卫生部之间的互动增加，15 个国家（88.2%）无法全面实施这些计划。9 个国家（52.9%）部分实施了其行动计划。卫生部的参与成为 HCPA 对 RMNCH 规划做出贡献的有力指标。
PMNCH 的强有力和持续的后续行动、HCPAs 的明确所有权、指定的工作人员和财政资源是实施行动计划的重要决定因素。这些研讨会在鼓励 HCPA 合作和迈向千年发展目标 4 和 5 方面普遍取得了成功。
