The WHO World Health Assembly and AI for Good Global Summit are hosting a roundtable on May 29, 2024, at the Warwick Hotel in Geneva. Organized by Inteleos, the event aims to improve maternal and fetal health through point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) training and certification.
The roundtable will focus on the disparities in maternal and child health services in low-income countries and the importance of expanding ultrasound training and certification. The rapid growth of ultrasound equipment availability has highlighted the need for enhanced training to ensure patient safety and improve the quality and access to maternal care. The initiative emphasizes the roles of midwives, nurses, and clinical officers in obstetric ultrasound screenings and advocates for policy changes and standard guidelines to broaden clinicians’ practice scope.
The event will explore public-private partnerships, local capacity building, economic innovation, and professional development for healthcare providers. It will also discuss the potential of advanced technologies in achieving more equitable healthcare access. The roundtable aims to drive discussions on integrating these strategies to advance maternal and fetal health globally.
