service delivery
Key Characteristics of Quality Healthcare Services
Range of health services is provided, appropriate to the needs of the target population, including preventative, curative, palliative and rehabilitative services and health promotion activities.
Comprehensiveness
Key Characteristics of Quality Healthcare Services
Services are directly and permanently accessible with no undue barriers of cost, language, culture, or geography. Health services are close to the people, with a routine point of entry to the service network at primary care level (not at the specialist or hospital level).
Accessibility
Key Characteristics of Quality Healthcare Services
Service delivery is designed so that all people in a defined target population are covered, i.e. the sick and the healthy, all income groups and all social groups
Coverage
Key Characteristics of Quality Healthcare Services
- Service delivery is organized to provide an individual with continuity of care across the network of services, health conditions, levels of care, and over the life cycle.
Continuity
Key Characteristics of Quality Healthcare Services
Health services are of high quality, i.e. they are effective, safe, centred on the patient’s needs and given in a timely fashion.
Quality
Key Characteristics of Quality Healthcare Services
Services are organized around the person, not the disease or the financing. Users perceive health services to be responsive and acceptable to them. There is participation from the target population in service delivery design and assessment. People are partners in their own health care.
Person-Centered
Key Characteristics of Quality Healthcare Services
Local area health service networks are actively coordinated, across types of provider, types of care, levels of service delivery, and for both routine and emergency preparedness. The patient’s primary care provider facilitates the route through the needed services, and works in collaboration with other levels and types of provider. Coordination also takes place with other sectors (e.g. social services) and partners (e.g. community organizations).
Coordination
Key Characteristics of Quality Healthcare Services
Health services are well managed so as to achieve the core elements described above with a minimum wastage of resources. Managers are allocated the necessary authority to achieve planned objectives and held accountable for overall performance and results. Assessment includes appropriate mechanisms for the participation of the target population and civil society.

TRUE
TRUE OR FALSE

True
TRUE OR FALSE
In 2017, according to the Fragile States Index, 15 countries were considered to be “very high alert” or “high alert” being a fragile state (South Sudan, Somalia, Central African Republic, Yemen, Syria, Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Chad, Afghanistan, Iraq, Haiti, Guinea, Zimbabwe, Nigeria and Ethiopia), and these 15 countries had MMRs in 2017 ranging from 31 (Syria) to 1150 (South Sudan).

TRUE OR FALSE
The risk of maternal mortality is lowest for adolescent girls under 15 years old and complications in pregnancy and childbirth are higher among adolescent girls age 10-19 (compared to women aged 20-24) (2,3).
False ; The risk of maternal mortality is highest for adolescent girls under 15 years old
TRUE OR FALSE
Women in less developed countries have, on average, many more pregnancies than women in developed countries, and their lifetime risk of death due to pregnancy is higher. A woman’s lifetime risk of maternal death is the probability that a 15 year old woman will eventually die from a maternal cause. In high income countries, this is 1 in 5400, versus 1 in 45 in low-income countries.
