In Kolda, a rural region in Senegal, there is only one gynecologist for 81,000 inhabitants. The main contacts for gynecology and obstetrics are midwives. Therefore, together with the Senegal Medical Faculty and the African Center of Excellence for Maternal and Child Health, Denk Pharma supported distance learning for midwives in Kolda. They were able to improve their knowledge on preeclampsia and resuscitation of newborns.
