Implementation Research on Administration of ACS during Intrapartum Care

This multi-country implementation research aims to (i) develop and concurrently evaluate an

optimized implementation model in LMICs that will achieve at least 70% population-level

coverage of use of safe antenatal corticosteroids (ACS) (according to WHO criteria for use) in

women having an early preterm birth (<34 weeks) and (ii) scale up the optimized

implementation model and evaluate its impact on coverage of safe ACS use and neonatal

mortality.
