A Novel Method for Involving Women of Color at High Risk for Preterm Birth in Research Priority Setting
Published on: January 12, 2018
Abstract:
In this paper, the author examines the continuing role of nurses across the world to ensure women are empowered to look after their own health and that of their children. On a recent Commonwealth Nursing fellowship visit to Pakistan and Sri Lanka, the author found that women were denied access to services because of lack of resources and limited mobility. The role of non-governmental organisations in reaching primary health-care goals is discussed, as well as the appropriateness of multi-skilling in developing communities.
