Final Call - Identifying disposable kits for use during pregnancy, childbirth or the postpartum period
Posted: Monday Feb 22, 2010
Immpact is nearing completion of a review of the literature on the use of birth kits in developing countries. The review aims to summarise the state of knowledge regarding current birth kit use and the lessons learnt. We anticipate that this will be available by the end of March 2010.
As part of this review, we are trying to identify other disposable kits for use during pregnancy, childbirth or the postpartum period. We are also interested in disposable kits for use with newborns. Identifying such kits will enable us to explore how birth kits fit within the wider field of maternal and child health.
We would be grateful for any information you may have. You can contact v.hundley@abdn.ac.uk or the review team at: birthkitreview@immpact-international.org by Wednesday 10th March.
Further information and the review protocol can be obtained here. A copy of the Immpact report, including findings from literature as well as key initiatives & contacts will be made available though this website on completion of the review.
