Helping Mothers Survive

Saving the Lives of Mothers Around the World

Every day, approximately 830 women die from preventable causes related to pregnancy and childbirth. A staggering 99% of these maternal deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries, where healthcare workers often care for both the mother and newborn without adequate resources or support. Project C.U.R.E. is committed to changing that. Through our Helping Mothers Survive (HMS) training programs, we are equipping midwives, nurses, and birth attendants with the skills to save lives—so that more babies are born into a world where their mothers survive.

ARE YOU INTERESTED IN BECOMING A MASTER TRAINER?

How the Program Works

Helping Mothers Survive is a suite of simulation-based training modules developed by Jhpiego to address the most common causes of maternal mortality. These modules teach midwives, nurses, and birth attendants how to prevent, detect, and manage life-threatening complications during childbirth.

Each training uses realistic simulators and hands-on practice to build clinical confidence and ensure long-term skill retention. Participants complete Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs) to demonstrate clinical competency.

HMS follows a Train-the-Trainer model. Project C.U.R.E.’s International facilitators travel to partner communities to train local healthcare providers, who can then become certified local Master Trainers. These local Master Trainers lead ongoing, locally-run trainings in their communities, ensuring that the knowledge continues to spread long after Project C.U.R.E. leaves. This model ensures the skills are sustainable, scalable, and deeply rooted in local capacity.

ARE YOU ALREADY A MASTER TRAINER?

Training Modules Include:

  • Bleeding After Birth Complete (BABC)
    A module for teams of health workers focused on reducing maternal mortality from postpartum hemorrhage. It builds skills in team communication, active management of the third stage of labor, and early detection and basic treatment of excessive bleeding.
  • Pre-eclampsia & Eclampsia (PE&E)
    This module addresses the second leading cause of maternal mortality. Participants learn how to assess and classify hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, administer magnesium sulfate and antihypertensive medications, and manage convulsions effectively.
  • Threatened Preterm Birth Care (TPTBC)
    A two-day course designed for teams caring for women and newborns at risk of preterm birth. This training bridges the Helping Mothers Survive and Helping Babies Survive curricula to improve outcomes for both mothers and premature infants.
  • Essential Care for Labor & Birth (ECL&B)
    This module focuses on improving quality and respectful care during labor, birth, and the immediate postpartum period. It uses a “low-dose, high-frequency” (LDHF) approach to strengthen the skills of healthcare teams in evidence-based, woman-centered care.

Through these targeted trainings, we empower healthcare providers to act quickly and effectively, ensuring more mothers survive childbirth.
