Early screenings for risks of complication and skilled attendants at birth are among the most critical interventions for saving the lives of women and newborns. Yet many poor women, living in mostly rural areas of sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, go without.
To reduce mortality and morbidity during pregnancy and childbirth, health care professionals around the world have developed innovative training models to reach additional health care workers, especially in low-resource settings, who conduct or assist during pregnancy and delivery. The models improve health care workers’ abilities to assess, diagnose, and treat life-threatening conditions during a woman’s pregnancy and childbirth.
The panel will present innovative models, such as the Helping Babies Breathe curriculum and other technology-driven approaches, being used to train thousands of health care workers and midwives in some of the lowest-resource settings in the world.
