kept mentioning women as "birthing people"

Very detailed course with excellent information on quality of care with examples and videos. Pace of lectures is very good. Thank you to all the lecturers

This was a great comprehensive course that also gives you a tangible action plan and evidence to create systemic change.

Good afternoon!

Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us it is a great course I enjoyed it .Thanks!

While this course isn't perfect, it comes close. It explains clearly the importance of shifting from a patriarchal attitude toward women's health care (and by extension, women's bodies). It outlines the problems, needs, resources, and solutions. It offers answers, not just describes problems. It is heavy on lecture, but the lectures are good. It tends to forget that a large cohort of midwives work intelligently and effectively -- without a nursing credential. However, I would not expect anything different from an Ivy League nursing school. It is will worth the time.

This course is exceptional! One of the best I've done here at Coursera, and the best I've done at Yale. The biggest positive point is the fact that it contains references and current discussions, data from recent years, etc. Teachers, videos, readings, assessments and other resources are of great quality. I was really able to understand the importance and benefits of the QMNC Framework.

The course has been very impactful especially the global health vedios demonstrating various delivery positions. this has greatly improved my practice.

A wonderful overview of the the midwifery model of care and how it can be used to improve maternal and newborn outcomes in across the globe.

I learnt so much about the need for trained midwives, respectful care and treatment of pregnant women and how to help women during birth.

Very engaging and educative, I will share this knowledge of the QNMC model to university students, midwives and other stake holders

A wonderful course with inspiring speakers.

This course is phenomenal and beautifully done! I want to be a mid-wife after taking this course! Every woman regardless of where they reside on this earth should take this course. As a mother of five, I realized after taking this course, it's luck, the country of residence and the grace of God that I am standing here. This course has given me a wealth of knowledge. As I went through the course, I would say to myself, "this is crazy! How did I not know this." You don't know what you don't know!" Just knowing what to look for and understanding when you and your baby are at risk and in need of help saves lives. I greatly appreciated the course's focus on supporting mothers, and empowering them to understand how to advocate for themselves. It is so critical for birthing women to know what procedures/support is most effective to bring forth life when in labor. In addition, childbirth is a traumatic, physically and emotionally. Too often, women and those around them do not allow the time to care for themselves, to rest and to allow their bodies to heal. Thank you to all who made this course possible. I will be raving about it!

I have greatly appreciated the opportunity to study the course on Global Quality Maternal and Newborn Care. This course provides in-depth knowledge on the essential aspects of maternal and newborn health, emphasizing the importance of quality care in improving health outcomes worldwide. The material is well-structured and easy to understand, with a strong focus on practical solutions to common challenges faced in maternal and newborn care across different regions. The course covers a broad range of topics, including health policies, interventions, and the role of healthcare providers, while also stressing the need for equitable access to care. The case studies and real-world examples included in the course helped deepen my understanding and gave me valuable insights into how to address barriers to care, particularly in low-resource settings. Overall, this course has been incredibly enlightening and has equipped me with both the knowledge and tools to contribute to improving maternal and newborn health globally. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in making a meaningful impact in this field

It is a delight to enrol and complete the course on Global Maternal and Newborn Care

I learn alot on the low support for independent recognisized midwifery professional services, I believe when there is universal acceptance of recogniized well trained and licensed midwives in adequeate number in each nation of the world as recommended by WHO,their services will be a major intervention to reduce global maternal and newborn deaths. I also recognise that this course is very appropiate for all healthcare professionals, the national governments policy holders, legistilative and executive arms of people in authorities of the welfare of our communities.

Amazingly well communicated, nutrient dense course that has applications not only maternity care, but throughout the entire medical world. As a medical malpractice survivor myself, I'm deeply grateful to have heared speakers talk on how to reframe medical systems in this course. I will bring the knowledge gained from this experience into advocacy on lessening the pain and suffering of medical malpractice, and into my work as a doula and newborn care specialist. I'm very grateful for all the amazing humans that contributed and continue to contribute to this work!

El curso 'Atención materna y neonatal de calidad global' ha sido una experiencia excelente y muy enriquecedora. No solo me ha proporcionado conocimientos fundamentales para mi carrera profesional en medicina, sino que también me ha ayudado a mejorar en mi idioma natal y a fortalecer mi nivel de inglés. La calidad del contenido y la claridad de las explicaciones fueron excepcionales, y definitivamente aplicaré lo aprendido en mi práctica profesional. Gracias por ofrecer un curso tan valioso.

Soy estudiante de medicina de último año. Si bien considero que el curso no está orientado para personal médico, mientras lo realizaba me di cuenta de que los temas que se abordaron tienen mucha relevancia para la práctica clínica de cualquier personal de salud; además, ayuda a que los médicos abramos los ojos y no desmeritemos la importante labor que tienen las matronas y enfermeras, y darnos cuenta de que el trabajo en equipo lo es todo para obtener unos buenos resultados.

This training reinforced my midwifery philosophy of respect for physiology, as well as the essential character of our profession in the world, the primordial role that we play with families and society. And above all that the way women give birth is political. The training was of high quality with the presentation of the latest studies. However, I found it a pity that there were few speakers from European countries.

I found this course to be extremely well-designed and informative about maternal quality and midwifery. The speakers explained complex concepts in a simple and engaging way, making it easy to follow and understand. I especially appreciated the interactive activities and practical examples, which helped reinforce what I learned. Overall, it was a valuable and enriching experience that exceeded my expectations.

This course was excellent in the information provided and formatting of the presentations. I absolutely enjoyed the learning this provided and am excited to begin placing some of the ideas into practice. It was a very encouraging presentation on a subject that seems so very daunting. Thank you for all the hard work and dedication to creating such a valuable presentation!
