Abstract:

Improving healthcare for women and children remains a priority in Brazilian public policy, with actions by the Ministry of Health aimed at strengthening management and planning to reduce maternal and neonatal mortality. This article analyzes the relevance and adequacy of the intervention in 20 state health departments. This is an evaluative study with a strategic analysis of the consistency between the intervention's objectives and the problems faced, including: (1) description of the intervention and logical model; (2) validation of the model; (3) analysis of the relevance of the intervention; (4) evaluation by technicians and managers of the secretariats. The intervention was well evaluated, with agreement that strengthening planning and management is essential to reduce maternal and neonatal mortality. Analysis of the responses from technicians and managers (n=143) indicated a favorable assessment of the intervention's contribution in the territories, the relevance of the topics addressed, the usefulness of the materials, and the profile of the consultants, including their ability to adapt SUS guidelines to local realities. The study contributes to improving future national interventions focused on women's and children's health and to supporting new strategic analyses in the country.
