What happens when top medical schools compete in a high-stakes simulation challenge? ?? We’re excited to share the success of the World Congress of Trauma and Emergency Leagues, held in Campinas, Brazil, where eight medical schools competed in a simulation competition! The event was organized by the Unicamp Trauma League and the Brazilian Committee of Trauma Leagues. ? Over the course of three days, we helped run 26 simulated scenarios, assessed with SimCapture by two evaluators at each station. The use of SimCapture allowed for detailed and accurate evaluations, making the entire process transparent and efficient. The performance data helped us rank the two finalists and determine the champion! ? A huge thank you to our colleagues for their excellent work in ensuring everything ran smoothly ??

? Celebrating a Decade of Progress ? Last week, we met with global health leaders and politicians in Oslo to celebrate 10 years of collaboration between the Norad - Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation and The Global Financing Facility (GFF) towards advancing maternal, newborn, child, and adolescent health. State Secretary Stine Renate H?heim reaffirmed Norway’s unwavering commitment to investing in global health and the vital role of collaboration between governments and multilateral organizations. Success Story: Tanzania?? The Safer Births Bundle of Care (SBBC) program in Tanzania was showcased as a success story, demonstrating a dramatic reduction in newborn and maternal mortality. Public health pioneer Tore Godal said: “Progress has been slow in relation to maternal and newborn health since 2020. It’s stagnated and we haven’t had a clear answer on how to attack this. Now what GFF and Laerdal are doing together… for the first time, we see a dramatic breakthrough in this area. This is revolutionary. The key appears to be the quality of services and a more comprehensive approach to the delivery of services. For me, after 55 years, this is the most exciting moment in global health and betterment of mankind.” Investment in Health Norad Director General B?rd Vegar Solhjell praised the SBBC project for its impressive, documented impact, saying: "We are concerned that aid money should go to things that have a documented effect. What the (SBBC) project has achieved here is enormously impressive.” Luc Laviolette, Head of Secretariat for the GFF, also expressed enthusiasm for scaling the program, noting Norway's significant contributions as not only a donor, but also an important thought partner. Associate Director for Health at UNICEF, Fouzia Shafique, called for stronger partnerships and scalable innovations, highlighting the success in Tanzania as a model for how to integrate product, program, and service innovations. GFF Head of Staff, Diwa Samad, maintained the importance of sexual and reproductive health and rights as a priority and the expansion of GFF support to bring innovations to scale to end preventable maternal and child deaths by 2030. There’s much work to be done, but we were inspired and energized by the spirit of collaboration and willingness to work towards a world where all births are safe. #saferbirths #gff #NORAD #helpingsavelives #globalhealth

In 2002, Afghanistan had just 300 trained midwives for a population of 40 million. Women gave birth without medical support, and maternal mortality rates were among the highest in the world. Thanks to the efforts of many dedicated professionals, midwife education programs have trained over 10,000 midwives, drastically improving maternal health. In this special International Women’s Day episode of the One Million Lives Podcast, we speak with Trude Thommesen, a Midwife and Clinical Supervisor at Stavanger University Hospital, who was part of a collaborative effort to strengthen midwife education in Afghanistan. Trude shares how simulation-based training, community-led initiatives, and local recruitment helped bring life-saving care to rural areas—empowering women and improving healthcare access despite ongoing challenges. ??

Every two minutes, a pregnancy-related death occurs. 4 in 5 of these deaths are preventable. Simulation training is critical to improving maternal health outcomes. Our newest simulator, MamaAnne, is designed to build preparedness for critical obstetric emergencies. Let's work together to make a positive impact on maternal outcomes and help save more lives.

How is it possible to reduce maternal deaths with 75% and early newborn deaths with 40%? Today, I am happy to share that the New England Journal of Medicine , has just published a study showing a 40% reduction in early newborn death and a 75% reduction in maternal death after implementation of the Safer Births Bundle of Care program, currently in place in over 150 health facilities in Tanzania. This highly scalable program strengthens healthcare systems by equipping birth attendants with the skills, knowledge, competence, and confidence needed to manage the leading causes of maternal and newborn mortality. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/e_VDhkmr Safer Births Bundle of Care is a result of over a decade of global research and collaboration, that we are all proud Laerdal Global Health has been a big part of. It shows that with training, simulation, technology, and collaboration you can achieve something truly remarkable. #SaferBirths #SBBC #savinglivesatbirth #helpingsavelives #laerdal
