TRAINING IN JAMAICA IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE GOVERNMENT OF JAMAICA

Footprints Foundation has created an amazing partnership with the Minister of Health in Jamaica to help reduce Maternal and Infant Mortality by training a total of 1200 doctors,nurses,midwives working in primary care around the island.

This iniative is called PROMAC. PROMAC is a partnership between the government of Jamaica and the European Union.

This program gives Footprints Foundation the unique opportunity to team up with Jamaican Faculty.We train collaboratively and respectfully.

Facts.

Most mothers deliver in a hospital setting. Maternal deaths are caused from indirect causes such as cardiac diseases,eclampsia, gestation diabetes, sickle cell disease and HIV.

The curriculum we use is provided to Footprints Foundation by the government of Jamaica.

We seek to partner with Universities and Organizations to help save the lives of mothers and babies in Jamaica.
