Training on "Emergency Obstetric & Newborn Care (EmONC)"

The goal of EmONC training is to ensure that health facilities have competent providers who can offer quality EmONC services. By the end of their training, learners achieve the following specific objectives and competencies: 

1. Identify the evidence basis for EmONC interventions.  

2. Demonstrate understanding of clients’ rights through provision of respectful care to clients and their families.  

3. Utilize positive interpersonal communication techniques with clients and their families.  

4. Demonstrate competency (first on anatomic models; then with clients) in EmONC signal functions.  

5. Demonstrate understanding and use of the clinical decision-making process.  

6. Formulate action plans describing how they will act as role models and work to institutionalize evidence-based EmONC knowledge and skills in their own health facilities.
