Theoretical Knowledge and Practical Skills to Improve the Health of Mothers and Newborns in Pregnancy and Childbirth Complications

In the course, students study evidence-based maternal and newborn care from a global and national perspective. Relevant policies in this subject are studied, with a focus on managing emergency complications affecting women and newborns. Students analyse sexual and reproductive perinatal health and rights from an economic and sociocultural perspective as well as from the perspective of gender, the climate and sustainability. There will be discussion on the use of pedagogy that is relevant to the subject and on the importance of research for evidence-based care and leadership.
