GO MOMS was originally designed to bring the latest effective treatments for obstetrical emergencies from the developed world to the developing world. Using lectures, videos and simulations in the native language, this teaching program has been proven to be successful.

However during the implementation of GO MOMS, new research conducted in the USA found that we have a higher maternal mortality rate than previously thought. Although not all the conditions causing harm are the same between developed and developing countries many are, such as hemorrhage, hypertensive disease and shoulder dystocia.

With this in mind we are developing the GO MOMS-USA educational program for hospitals here in the USA. Our goal is to provide the needed educational program to help decrease the maternal mortality and morbidity rate we are experiencing in the USA.

September 2018 GO MOMS launched the GO MOMS-USA program.

We began in Mississippi where we were invited by the Mississippi Maternal Perinatal Quality Collaboration (MMPQC) and Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Mississippi (BCBSMS).

California

GO MOMS – USA had the opportunity to provide simulation training at

1. Watsonville Community Hospital in Watsonville, California 2017

2. Dominican Hospital in Santa Cruz,California in 2019

3. Plans are underway to expand to other California hospitals in 2020
