Training for Healthcare Professionals

Improving Care for Mothers and Babies

Our Swiss NGO helps improve the quality of care through better continuing education for healthcare professionals. Healthcare workers receive training in counseling and awareness-raising so they can better assess the health problems of the population and provide better care.

Strengthening Healthcare Workers’ Skills

In collaboration with our local partners, we develop continuing education programs to improve the quality of consultations, for example, to ensure that women’s consent is obtained before any medical procedure is performed.

We are helping to standardize prenatal visits through the PANDA (Pregnancy and Newborn Diagnostic Assessment) telemedicine system, which has been integrated into the national eHealth efforts by the Burkinabe Ministry of Health.

During the COVID-19 crisis, in order to continue prenatal consultations safely, Enfants du Monde and its partners created videos for healthcare workers and trained them in appropriate medical care.

Training Health Managers to Implement Regional Programs

We develop university training courses for people in management positions within ministries of health, in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO), the Latin American Center for Perinatology (CLAP), and the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO).

The goal is to promote and support the implementation of regional programs to improve the health of women and newborns.

Our training courses are integrated into national curricula. In Burkina Faso, for example, our approach to health promotion is part of the National School of Public Health program.
Our methods vary depending on the context of the intervention: face-to-face or online training, for example during the COVID-19 crisis.
To improve maternal and child health in their respective countries, we organize training courses bringing together executives from the ministries of health of different countries, for example in Latin America.
In order to achieve sustainable results, our specialists co-develop training courses with universities, NGOs, and ministries of health in the countries concerned, as well as international organizations such as the World Health Organization.

Since completing this counseling training, my consultations with pregnant women have been different. Now, I listen very carefully to the story of their pregnancy and take into consideration any family issues that may prevent them from receiving proper care.
