Inequalities in pregnant women: To what extent does the Midwifery-led model of care support the Lombardy healthcare system in improving maternal and neonatal well-being? - 2026_IDR_DIG_80

The project investigates inequalities in access to and quality of maternity care among women with healthy pregnancies in the Lombardy Region, with particular attention to the role of social determinants of health. The project is structured into six interconnected Work Packages and adopts a mixed-methods approach, combining regional surveys, qualitative interviews, and participatory workshops. Data collected from maternity care facilities, women, and healthcare professionals will support the development of tools to monitor services, identify factors associated with health outcomes, and understand the perspectives of both service users and healthcare professionals. Ultimately, the project aims to generate evidence to inform policies and practices promoting greater equity in maternal and infant healthcare.
