Since 2010, OMPHI, MHTF and GFMER have been working together to produce e-learning materials in the field of maternal and perinatal health. They have already produced two online training courses entitled “The evidence-based management of pre-eclampsia and eclampsia” and “The evidence-based management of Postpartum haemorrhage”. These two modules have been disseminated to health professionals worldwide, through the joint efforts of collaborating partners.
In reference to the significant achievement in disseminating evidence-based knowledge and the high demand for similar courses, MHTF/OMPHI/TGHN/GFMER developed a third e-learning course on Maternal infections, that is one of the six major causes of maternal death worldwide.
The development of this course was motivated by the feedback received from health professionals participating in the previous e-Learning courses on pre-eclampsia & eclampsia and postpartum haemorrhage, demanding for a similar course on maternal infections.
