IMPACT
More than 5,000 healthcare providers have been trained in PRONTO’s approach
globally through early-2016. PRONTO has trained nurses, traditional midwives,
doctors, and other providers that care for women and newborns during labor
and delivery.
In a trial in Mexico, the impact of the PRONTO intervention was a 44 percent
decrease in neonatal mortality, 21 percent decrease in cesarean sections, and a
62 percent institutional systems goal achievement.
Through the use of innovative video analysis and mobile phone technology,
PRONTO is monitoring the changes over time in use of evidence-based practices
and teamwork communication techniques in simulated and actual cases. Results
from both show improvement in the identification and management of obstetric
and neonatal complications.
