As they arise, new programming opportunities will build upon the Mama na Mtoto platform and infrastructure. Districts are currently providing placements sites for nursing trainees at the Catholic University of Health and Applied Sciences and collaborative postgraduate research projects are being pursued. Mentorship, referrals, joint planning and problem-solving will continue between Bugando Medical Center and Misungwi and Kwimba care providers and managers. In addition, we are excited about a new project (starting 2021) to expand maternal newborn simulation training and mentorship for clinicians in Misungwi and Kwimba districts in collaboration with university partners.
