The Evidence-based Management of Preeclampsia/Eclampsia and Postpartum Haemorrhage - Training Course in Mexico City, Mexico, January 26-28, 2015

Background

In Mexico maternal mortality continues being a problem in public health. Many differences in maternal mortality regarding location have been observed. For example, in 2012 the maternal mortality ratio was 23.3 in Jalisco in comparison to 60.58 in Chiapas, 75.87 in Guerrero, and 65.26 in Oaxaca. The last three figure as the top three in maternal mortality. Unfortunately maternal mortality has increased in these three states from 2011 to 2013. The causes of maternal mortality continue to be hypertensive pregnancy disorders and postpartum haemorrhage. In Mexico to conclude medical school students have the responsibility to face the country´s needs throughout a community service year. During this year students take care of one community´s health services, mainly low income population with restricted access to other medical assistance.

Organization

This course was organized by Dr. Juan José Mazón Ramirez, chief of the Community Service program at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, and Dr. Atziri Ramirez Negrín, coordinator of GMER Mexico. Together they saw the importance to disseminate OMPHI/GFMER Evidence-Based Management of Preeclampsia-Eclampsia and Postpartum Hemorrhage courses amongst the students who were soon to become doctor´s in the poorest states of Mexico: Guerrero, Chiapas, and Oaxaca.
