Basic Emergency Obstetric and Newborn Care (BEmONC) and Comprehensive Emergency Obstetric and Newborn Care (CEmONC) are life-saving clinical interventions designed to manage complications during pregnancy, childbirth, and the immediate postnatal period. Advanced mastery focuses on simulation-based, hands-on training to strengthen rapid response, clinical decision-making, and team coordination in high-risk scenarios.
Maternal and neonatal mortality remains high due to delayed recognition of complications, inadequate emergency response skills, and limited hands-on training. Many healthcare providers lack confidence and practical exposure to manage obstetric emergencies such as postpartum hemorrhage, eclampsia, obstructed labor, and neonatal asphyxia.
This course provides intensive, simulation-driven training to build advanced competencies in managing obstetric and newborn emergencies. Participants engage in real-life clinical scenarios, develop rapid response protocols, and strengthen multidisciplinary teamwork to improve outcomes in critical situations.
Key Concepts Covered
• BEmONC and CEmONC signal functions
• Management of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH)
• Hypertensive disorders and eclampsia management
• Neonatal resuscitation and immediate newborn care
• Assisted vaginal delivery and surgical interventions
• Infection prevention and control (IPC)
• Emergency triage and rapid response systems
• Team-based simulation and crisis resource management
Participants will apply skills to:
• Respond effectively to obstetric emergencies in real time
• Perform life-saving interventions during childbirth
• Improve neonatal resuscitation outcomes
• Strengthen coordination in maternity emergency teams
• Reduce delays in emergency obstetric care
• Enhance readiness in low-resource and high-volume settings
By the end of the course, participants will be able to confidently manage obstetric and neonatal emergencies, reduce complications, and improve survival rates through timely, evidence-based interventions.
