Third Orientation Workshop on "Maternal and Newborn Health Programming"
30 June-4 July 2008
The Third Orientation Workshop on Maternal and Newborn Health Programming will be held in Geneva, Switzerland, from 30 June to 4 July 2008. The Workshop is part of a series of capacity-building workshops organized by the Department of Making Pregnancy Safer on a regular basis.
This one-week workshop will familiarize participants with WHO guidance on interventions and related health system issues for maternal and newborn health. With this workshop participants will enhance their skills for more effectively designing solutions for improving MNH programmes and to plan, implement and evaluate MNH services in countries with high maternal and neonatal mortality.
The target audience is staff from governments, donor agencies, international organizations, research institutions, the private sector and NGOs involved in maternal and newborn health.
Registration (form) will be open until 20 April 2008 and a registration fee is not required. WHO will provide course materials and coffee/tea during the workshop days. Accommodation and travel will neither be organized nor covered by WHO.
This course is offered in English.
Please note that acceptance will be communicated to participants on or before 30 April 2008.
We hope that you will be able to finance your participation to this workshop through your institution/organization.
