1SOGC, Projet Canada-Ouganada ' Sécurité maternelle ' de la FIGO, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
Abstract:
In 1997, the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) launched its Save the Mother program. Its overall objective is to mobilise obstetricians and gynaecologists in developing and developed countries to work together in an effort to reduce maternal mortality, through operational research demonstrating the feasibility and effectiveness of integrated comprehensive essential obstetric services. The FIGO Save the Mothers Uganda - Canada Project, jointly led by the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada and the Association of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Uganda (AOGU), is one of the projects supported by FIGO. Conducted in Kiboga (Uganda), the project aims the reduction of maternal mortality and morbidity by a series of measures which target the district hospitals, community dispensaries and the community.
