Integrated Maternal Care Strategies in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: A Systematic Review
Conclusions: Most types of strategies described in theory have been implemented and studied in low- and middle-income countries. Our findings suggest that different types of strategies may lead to comparable organisational outcomes. For example, organisational integration strategies and professional or service integration strategies may similarly influence inter-organisational collaboration. Inter-organisational collaboration may play a particularly important role in the context of maternal care integration.

This work highlighted the potential of big data analysis in the context of the model of people-centred and integrated health services, whereby the role model of the person-centered health platform can be used as a blueprint to suppor...
