On Wednesday, May 29th, 2024, Inteleos is hosting a roundtable discussion at the Warwick Hotel in Geneva during the WHO World Health Assembly and AI for Good Global Summit. The event, titled “Advancing Maternal and Fetal Health through POCUS Training and Certification,” aims to emphasize the importance of training primary maternal health clinicians in point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) to reduce maternal mortality by 2030.
The discussion will focus on the disparities in maternal and child health services in low-income countries and advocate for expanded ultrasound training and certification. As affordable ultrasound equipment becomes more readily available, there is a need for enhanced training to ensure patient safety. Improving ultrasound proficiency among clinicians will not only increase coverage but also improve the quality and accessibility of maternal care.
The initiative calls for policy shifts and standardized guidelines to broaden clinicians’ practice scope and recognize the critical roles of midwives, nurses, and clinical officers in obstetric ultrasound screenings. The roundtable will explore opportunities for public-private partnerships, local capacity building, economic innovation, and professional development for healthcare providers. Additionally, advanced technologies will be discussed to promote equitable access to healthcare for all.
