Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the retention of knowledge and skills after theory+simulation training versus theoretical training alone in postpartum haemorrhage immediately, 3 months and 6 months after training in South Kivu, in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
