Within the framework of the IbnSina Health Capacity Building Programme, SESRIC will organise a Training Course on “Maternal, New-born and Child Health Care in OIC-Africa Countries” in collaboration with the Standing Committee on Scientific and Technological Cooperation (COMSTECH) and the Ministry of Health and Social Protection of the Kingdom of Morocco. The course will take place on 5-6 December 2024 through an online video conferencing platform.

The training course aims to facilitate the exchange of knowledge and good practices in maternal and child health through exploring challenges and opportunities in providing effective maternal and child health services. The training will also explore various strategies for improving care, optimizing resources, and meeting the overall needs of women and children across OIC and African countries.

A key feature of the training will be a focus on the experiences and strategies of Morocco and Pakistan. These case studies will offer valuable insights into successful mechanisms and approaches that can be adapted and implemented within other OIC-African countries. The goal is to reduce maternal, new-born, and child mortality rates.

The training course will cover the following key topics:

• Challenges and Opportunities for Improving the Quality Services for Maternal, Newborn, and Child Health in OIC-Africa Countries
• Pakistan’s Experience: Strategies and Actions to Control the Rapidly Growing population
• Improving Maternal and Child Health Outcomes: Addressing Challenges and Exploring Effective Strategies
