Mission statement
This Centre was founded with the aim of improving maternal-infant health of the population through research, the training of human resources and the planning of activities related to health care. CREP's constitutional act states how these actions will be achieved. It includes research and teaching activities enabling the design of guidelines for perinatal care, publication of research papers, participation in and organisation of scientific meetings on perinatology, organisation of pre- and post-graduate teaching programmes and fellowships and also the creation of a specialised library as well as a perinatal data base.
