Abstract

We describe collaboration between obstetrician leaders in low resource countries and MFM specialists in promoting a systematic approach to maternal mortality cases reviews and targeting feasible quality improvement projects. This effort cumulated in the presentation and reviews of representative cases of maternal mortality by emerging obstetrician leaders from Ghana, Uganda, India and Haiti at the Global Health Scientific Forum of Society of Maternal Fetal Medicine Annual Meeting in 2012. In addition to large-scale initiatives, groups of maternal healthcare providers can develop similar global partnership that can facilitate the goal of reducing global maternal mortality.
