Philosophiae Doctor - PhD / The value of accountability as a key feature of strengthening health systems and
reducing maternal, newborn and child mortality is increasingly emphasised globally,
nationally and locally. Frontline health professionals and managers play a crucial role
in promoting maternal, newborn and child health (MNCH) services in an equitable
and accountable manner. They are at the interface between higher-level health system
management and communities, facing demands from both sides and often expected to
perform beyond their available means. Although accountability is a central topic in the
governance of MNCH literature, it has mostly been approached at global and national
levels, with little understanding of how accountability is integrated into the routine
functioning of local health systems.
