Int J Obstet AnesthPublished Narrative review

Study context

Population
Women receiving peripartum care in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs)

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

  • LMICs face inadequate anaesthesia workforce, under-resourced health systems and sub-optimal access to labour and delivery care, negatively impacting maternal and neonatal outcomes
  • Outreach programmes and partnerships across organisations and countries already shown to improve safe care of mothers and babies
  • Short subspecialty courses and simulation training are two cornerstones of obstetric anaesthesia training in poorly resourced environments
