摘要：

In 1998, the ob/gyn associations of Uganda and Canada launched, under the umbrella of the FIGO Save the Mothers Initiative, a district-wide intervention which aimed to increase the availability and utilization of emergency obstetric care (EmOC) services in a rural district of Uganda. The article describes the experience of two professional ob/gyn associations in the development, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of the project. Preliminary results after 24 months of intervention indicate important gains in the capacity of health professionals to deliver EmOC, the availability of emergency transportation services and met need for EmOC.
