Companion of choice during labour and childbirth for improved quality of care_EN

The following evidence brief has been published as a joint collaboration between SRH/HRP and MCA: Companion of choice during labour and childbirth for improved quality of care. It updates and replaces a 2016 evidence brief on labour companionship with additional evidence, as well as an implementation section. These changes further emphasise the importance of quality of care as an inseparable part of maternal care, including during the current COVID-19 pandemic.
