Highlights
Neonatal mortality globally has halved from 37‰ to 18‰ between 1990 and 2019. In all Central Asian countries, neonatal mortality has decreased from 28‰ to 10‰, though the rate of decline varies between countries. The level of neonatal mortality in the
Republic of Tajikistan remains relatively high compared to other Central Asian countries.
The goal of the assessment is to improve the quality of neonatal and obstetric care in the Republic of Tajikistan. The methodology included the analysis of medical documentation, facility inspections, and interviews with medical staff using the WHO tool "Hospital care for
mothers and newborns: Quality Assessment Improvement tool" (second edition). During the analysis, special attention was given to the organization of care for newborns. A four-point scale (ranging from 0 to 3 points) was applied to evaluate specific practices and the overall quality of care in the tool's sections.
