Pacific Emergency Maternity & Neonatal Training (PEMNet) Non-Pacific-based

The pre-launch of the newly revised second edition of the Pacific Emergency Maternity and Obstetric Training programme will be a high-paced programme designed to ‘train the trainers’ who will take the programme back to their country and lead its implementation. 

Please note that there is a strict limit on numbers of attendees. Be quick to ensure your place.
