WHO labour care guide: implementation resource package

Overview

The WHO Labour Care Guide advances evidence-based, respectful, and person-centered intrapartum care by strengthening health workers’ capacity for standardized monitoring and timely decision-making.

The newly published LCG Implementation Resource Package supports countries in using it to replace the partograph, enhance quality of intrapartum care, and improve maternal and newborn outcomes. It also promotes positive birth experiences and serves as a practical tool for policymakers, program managers, trainers, and frontline providers.
