A Mozambican father-to-be recognized the danger signs of a potentially life-threatening condition in his pregnant wife and got her to the health center. The nurses on duty responded quickly and effectively, thanks to the skills they learned through the U.S. Agency for International Development’s flagship Maternal and Child Survival Program. |

A Jhpiego-led study was conducted to identify gaps in Ethiopian medical education and practice, and to determine the content of the national licensing examination. The study found that most young physicians are interested in emergency medicine, internal medicine, and pediatrics. The authors recommend that a majority of questions for a licensing exam cover internal medicine, pediatrics, surgery, obstetrics and gynecology and public health. Interesting finding: more than 70% of physicians had never inserted or removed a long-acting reversible contraceptive device. |

What do new mothers in Nepal prefer to use in kangaroo care for their premature babies—a traditional flannel cloth that requires help putting on or a new, ergonomic wrap that requires no assistance to wear? The implementation research study found that the new wrap might help overcome barriers to the use of kangaroo care at a time when the government has made this effective intervention a priority. |
