ABSTRACT

Maternal mortality in Yemen is one of the highest in the world. Reaching the rural majority of the population with primary health care services has been a continual priority for the nation. Despite efforts to expand health services, access to maternal and child health care remains low.

Several lessons have been gained through this initial training that will improve future efforts.
