“It’s like a book in the palm of my hand”: Adapting the Safe Delivery App for Papua New Guinea to improve quality of maternal and newborn care
The Safe Delivery App is seen as a useful tool, supporting clinical practice, knowledge and skills, providing users with more confidence in their ability to provide quality maternal and newborn health care. Wider implementation of the App across PNG may be a potential way to support health care workers in the remote settings, providing up to date evidence based clinical guidance in the absence of skilled midwives and doctors.
