Three of our Trustees, Dr Adrian Brown (Chair), Prof Andy Shennan and Mary Russell, attended the Royal College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (RCOG) World Congress in Birmingham in June to present a poster on the work of Maternity Worldwide in Ethiopia and the fingings from Phase 1 of the CRADLE 3 research project.
The first day of the conference had a focus on global health. It was a great opportunity to network and to hear of all the exciting initiatives that are being undertaken to improve maternal health throughout the world.
Mary and Adrian presented the poster they and Katherine Lattey, a MW volunteer, wrote: entitled ‘Ten years in Ethiopia: what difference did the Millennium Development Goals really make?‘. The poster focussed on the detailed maternal health needs assessments which was carried out in Gimbie, Ethiopia in 2004 and again in 2014 to determine what impact initiatives from our integrated maternal health programme have had on reducing maternal mortality.
The abstract for this poster was published in a special online RCOG World Congress 2016 supplement of the British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (BJOG).
