Advancing Maternal and Fetal Health through POCUS Training and Certification

29/04/2024 - 29/04/2024 ISC Intelligence in Science
Location: Geneva

Inteleos is set to host a pivotal roundtable alongside a side event during the WHO World Health Assembly and the AI for Good Global Summit. The event, "Advancing Maternal and Fetal Health through POCUS Training and Certification," will be convened on Wednesday, 29th May 2024, at 07:30 AM, at the Warwick Hotel in Geneva.

This roundtable will focus in on the urgent need to certify primary maternal health clinicians in point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) as a crucial strategy to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal of significantly reducing maternal mortality by 2030. The discussion will shed light on the stark disparities in maternal and child health services across different economic segments in low-income countries, underscoring the pressing need to expand ultrasound training and certification.

The availability of affordable ultrasound equipment has outpaced healthcare providers' training capabilities, underscoring the need for enhanced training and certification to ensure patient safety. Expanding ultrasound proficiency among clinicians not only enhances the coverage of this vital intervention but also improves the quality and access to maternal care. The initiative advocates for comprehensive policy shifts and standardised guidelines to extend clinicians' practice scope, recognizing midwives, nurses, and clinical officers for their pivotal roles in obstetric ultrasound screenings.

The roundtable will explore integrating public-private partnerships and promoting local capacity building, economic innovation, and professional development opportunities for healthcare providers, as well as the role advanced technologies can play in providing more equitable access for all.

Testimonials

For well over a decade, in my capacity as a researcher, broadcaster, and producer, I have relied heavily on Alphagalileo.
All of my work trips have been planned around stories that I've found on this site.
The under embargo section allows us to plan ahead and the news releases enable us to find key experts.
Going through the tailored daily updates is the best way to start the day. It's such a critical service for me and many of my colleagues.
Koula Bouloukos, Senior manager, Editorial & Production Underknown
We have used AlphaGalileo since its foundation but frankly we need it more than ever now to ensure our research news is heard across Europe, Asia and North America. As one of the UK’s leading research universities we want to continue to work with other outstanding researchers in Europe. AlphaGalileo helps us to continue to bring our research story to them and the rest of the world.
Peter Dunn, Director of Press and Media Relations at the University of Warwick
AlphaGalileo has helped us more than double our reach at SciDev.Net. The service has enabled our journalists around the world to reach the mainstream media with articles about the impact of science on people in low- and middle-income countries, leading to big increases in the number of SciDev.Net articles that have been republished.
