The Rural Obstetrics Network

Mission:  to develop and maintain a collaborative community, whose purpose is to support rural maternity care providers (GPs, specialists, midwives, nurses) in their pursuit of providing sustainable and rewarding obstetrical care within their rural communities.

The Rural Obstetrics Network is being established to support rural maternity care providers (GPs, specialists, midwives, nurses) in their pursuit of providing sustainable and rewarding obstetrical care within their rural communities.

Guiding Principles

  • Intersectoral
  • Sustainable
  • Proactive
  • Community-oriented
  • Evidence-directed
  • Strategic Directions

 
1. Establishment of a robust and sustainable network of rural obstetrical care providers
