Pre-service and In-Service Education and Training for Maternal and Newborn Care Providers in Low- And Middle-Income Countries
An Evidence Review and Gap Analysis
Abstract
Background
Good quality midwifery care has the potential to reduce both maternal and newborn mortality and morbidity in high, low, and lower-middle income countries (LMIC) and needs to be underpinned by effective education. There is considerable variation in the quality of midwifery education provided globally.
Objective
To determine what are the most efficient and effective ways for LMICs to conduct pre-service and in-service education and training in order to adequately equip care providers to provide quality maternal and newborn care
This work was funded by the Department for International Development’s Policy Research Fund
