Calling healthcare professionals in the global south

Global Voices for Maternal Health: sharing knowledge, saving lives
The University of Oxford is consulting with 10,000 healthcare professionals across the developing world. They are being asked to complete an online survey and identify where they see the gaps in maternal healthcare in their respective countries. Take part in the consultation.

Sharing skills
DFID have launched a fund that will allow UK health professionals to share their skills with doctors, nurses and midwives across the developing world. We want to encourage partnerships that can pilot new techniques, such as live internet link-ups or the use of mobile phones for emergency referrals or operations. Keep coming back to this page for an up-date about how to get involved.
