Introduce innovations
Project ADHUNA is committed to advancing maternal and newborn health in India’s private sector by introducing, adapting, and scaling evidence-based innovations. These innovations span critical areas of clinical practice—from postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) management to prematurity, anemia care, and family planning. Our goal is to ensure that cutting-edge, proven interventions are accessible and adoptable across diverse facility settings in 29 districts.
1
Elevating PPH Management through the E-MOTIVE Bundle
Promoting the WHO-recommended E-MOTIVE bundle for early detection and rapid action to prevent maternal mortality.
Key Actions:- Developing a document detailing practices in PPH management in selected districts.
- Integrating the E-MOTIVE bundle into CPD modules and training manuals.
- Curating a position statement on adoption of the E-MOTIVE bundle.
2
Scaling Use of Ferric Carboxymaltose (FCM) for Maternal Anemia
Supporting FCM as a safer, faster, and more efficient treatment for moderate and severe anemia during pregnancy.
Key Actions:- Documenting evidence on efficacy, safety, and acceptability of IV-FCM.
- Engaging healthcare providers to identify barriers to FCM use.
- Integrating IV-FCM into CPD modules and training manuals.
3
Strengthening Collaboration to Prevent & Manage Prematurity
Supporting joint clinical practices between obstetricians and pediatricians to improve neonatal outcomes.
Key Actions:- Establishing good clinical practices for predicting, preventing, and managing prematurity.
- Integrating these practices—including kangaroo mother care—into CPD modules and manuals.
4
Expanding Access to Family Planning & Self-Care Innovations
Promoting modern family planning methods like implants and DMPA-SC with focus on women’s self-care.
Key Actions:- Endorsing self-care within the continuum of women’s health, including potential self-use of DMPA-SC.
- Integrating family planning counselling and new methods into CPD modules and manuals.
