  1. Functional Organizational Structure: In this type of structure, the hospital is divided into different departments based on functions such as administration, nursing, pediatrics, obstetrics, etc. Each department is headed by a departmental manager who reports to the hospital administrator.

  2. Divisional Organizational Structure: In this structure, the hospital is divided into divisions based on specific services or patient populations. For example, there may be separate divisions for maternity care, pediatric care, neonatal care, etc. Each division operates independently with its own divisional manager.

  3. Matrix Organizational Structure: This structure combines elements of both functional and divisional structures. The hospital is divided into functional departments, but also has cross-functional teams or task forces that work on specific projects or initiatives. For example, there may be a cross-functional team focused on improving maternal and child health outcomes.

  4. Team-Based Organizational Structure: In this structure, the hospital is organized into interdisciplinary teams that work together to provide comprehensive care to mothers and children. Each team consists of healthcare professionals from different disciplines such as doctors, nurses, midwives, social workers, etc. The teams are responsible for the overall care of their assigned patients.

  5. Network Organizational Structure: In this structure, the hospital is part of a larger network or system that includes multiple healthcare facilities and providers. The network may include primary care clinics, specialty hospitals, community health centers, etc. The maternal and child health care hospital collaborates with other facilities within the network to provide coordinated care to patients.

  6. Flat Organizational Structure: In this structure, the hospital has a minimal hierarchy and a decentralized decision-making process. The focus is on empowering frontline staff to make decisions and take responsibility for patient care. This structure promotes collaboration and innovation among staff members.

  7. Hierarchical Organizational Structure: In this traditional structure, the hospital has a clear chain of command with a top-down approach to decision-making. The hospital administrator or CEO is at the top, followed by department heads, managers, and frontline staff. This structure provides clear lines of authority and accountability.

It is important to note that these organizational structures can be adapted and customized to meet the specific needs and goals of maternal and child health care hospitals.
