Summary
Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is a major public health problem which affects a significant number of women worldwide and contributes to global maternal morbidity and mortality. In an effort to increase the clinical opportunities available to first and second year medical students, the student-run Global Health Alliance (GHA) at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center developed an innovative, hands-on program for the learning and application of clinical skills in low-resource settings. This educational program uses clinical simulations to teach specific skill sets adapted to settings where resources are limited. In order to reach the MDGs and SDGs, access to reproductive health services, including highly effective forms of contraception, is necessary This pilot study aimed to assess how women who visited primary health clinics learn about their family planning (FP) options. This study evaluated for religious beliefs and practices influencing access to ANC and PMTCT services among Muslim and Christian women in rural North-Central Nigeria (42% Muslim, 56% Christian)
