Abstract

If all the maternity staff is trained in Emergency Obstetrics & Newborn Care (EmONC) and life saving skills regularly, many deaths and disabilities could be averted at health care facilities. Even at tertiary hospitals, timely and appropriate care is often not provided for various reasons including lack of knowledge and training of the staff.
The aim of this EmONC training is to use evidence-based global guidelines and best practices to develop and strengthen the capacity building of the health care providers as a team for providing quality obstetric and neonatal services, to address the major causes of maternal and newborn deaths and disability in Pakistan. Post partum haemorrhage, eclampsia, sepsis, obstructed labour, abortions and the iatrogenic causes of maternal death are specifically addressed in this training provided for Doctors, Midwives and Nurses who are involved in childbirth and newborn care.
