PartoMa Study - for saving lives at birth
An intervention based study to strengthen the quality of monitoring, action and triage during labour at an East African Referral Hospital
The PartoMa project is a collaboration between University of Copenhagen, Denmark, and Mnazi Mmoja Hospital, Tanzania, aiming at improving care during labour. Since October 2014, we have worked together on developing and implementing simple and locally achievable guidelines on labour care to assist the birth attendants in delivering best possible surveillance and treatment to the many women in labour.
A quality improvement study supported by the Lundbeck Foundation, the Laerdal Foundation, the Augustinus Foundation, and University of Copenhagen.
Principal investigator: Nanna Maaløe, MD, PhD student
