This course is part of a project that aims to reduce maternal mortality in Sub-Saharan Africa by providing specialty training in Obstetrics and Gynecology. This training will be provided in a partnership between high-income and low- and middle-income countries (LMIC).
We hope that you find the course useful in whatever role you play in the reduction of maternal mortality, and that together we will find a way to sustainably improve the lives women, children, and the people who care for them in Sub Saharan Africa.
