5. Clinical flow charts for the major obstetric complications are presented at the end of each complication, where appropriate. The flowcharts illustrate the sequence of steps involved in diagnosing and managing complications and are designed to assist providers in taking quick actions to manage the complication or to stabilize and refer the case as appropriate. In the ETATMBA project we have been through all details of this document. We also traced relevant published and unpublished studies on all complications. We then made proposals to update each norm according to available evidence with adaptation to known resource constraints. In parallel with the ETATMBA project efforts to develop and update the Emergency Obstetric Care Job Aid MoHSW has noted that several other stakeholders working in maternal health have similar ambitions. All inputs to improve the “Job Aid” have gradually been provided to the “Safe Motherhood Working Group” (SMWG), led by the National Coordinator of Safe Motherhood in the MoHSW, Dr K Winani. The SMWG is currently compiling all these stakeholders’ inputs in order to authorise an official, new version of the Emergency Obstetric Care Job Aid to be available in 2014.
