August 9, 2023 updated by: Cikwanine Buhendwa Jean Paul, Université Evangélique enAfrique

Use of Simulation Training Versus Theoretical Learning for the Retention of Knowledge and Skills in the Management of Postpartum Hemorrhage: A Multicenter, Comparative Study in Eastern DRCongo.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the retention of knowledge and skills after theory+simulation training versus theoretical training alone in postpartum haemorrhage immediately, 3 months and 6 months after training in South Kivu, in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
