| Project description
|
The Cork University Maternity Hospital (CUMH)-OmdurmanCUH Maternity Hospital (OMH) partnership began as an idea in 2002 when two paediatricians and a neonatal nurse, all from Cork, taught the Neonatal Resuscitation Programme in Khartoum to 90 providers and 28 instructors, including midwives and doctors. It was then suggested that CUMH should make some contributions to the developing world, focusing particularly on hospitals and services with which CUMH could partner. The cooperation between these two maternity hospitals has continued for over 10 years, and in recognition of the superb work that has been accomplished, the partnership received an award for Excellence in Healthcare Management at the 2009 Irish Healthcare Awards. The partnership joined ESTHER Ireland in February 2013.

- Goal 4: Develop existing fistula services and a new urogynaecology centre.
- Goal 5: Significantly improve the Omdurman Maternity Hospital facilities and hygiene (e.g. buildings, waste management, infection control, computers, IT etc.)
