Benchmark
With more than 155 maternity units participating, from the largest to the smallest, WHA’s Benchmarking Program is a robust and trusted resource for leaders of women’s healthcare services. We provide meaningful comparisons among peer services that help each service to appreciate both their key strengths as well as opportunities for improving care and outcomes.
Every maternal & newborn service is unique, serving different local communities, having different facilities, expertise and capabilities. Yet there is a lot services have in common and much they can learn from one another in their shared commitment to deliver the best possible care to women and babies.
All member health services are welcome to participate in our Benchmarking Program. Find out what’s on offer and how to participate.
