IPAS Indonesia in collaboration with the Faculty of Medicine, Padjajaran University (FK Unpad) organized a training of trainer (ToT) activity. This activity is in order to support the Ministry of Health to expand access to Post Abortion Care (PAC) services by multiplying PAC Trainers who can be mobilized in the future.
ToT activities were held for 5 days on October 3-7, 2022 at the Hilton Hotel Bandung. There were 34 participants consisting of midwives and doctors from FK Unpad/RSHS, FK KMK UGM, and FK UI/RSCM.
This training was facilitated by Prof. Alison Edelman from Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU) United States, and Nadia Piedrahita, IPAS consultant. The two main facilitators were assisted by several facilitators from FK KMK UGM.
Training of Trainers (ToT) aims to produce training facilitators to become a pool of trainers for comprehensive women-centered care with the concept of Interprofessional Collaboration (IPC). This pool of trainers is expected to be able to assist the Ministry of Health as a facilitator of PAC trainings to support the increased capacity of health workers in providing Post Miscarriage Care services in Indonesia.
During the training, participants were provided with special materials in order to become trainers and facilitators in comprehensive and women-centered Post Miscarriage Care training. In addition, participants were also trained with techniques and skills to deliver interesting and effective PAC material so that they can carry out PAC clinical training in the future.
Previously, in July 2022, the IPAS Indonesia and FK Unpad had conducted an online distance learning activity on the latest standards and technology for the implementation of women-centered comprehensive PAC. This activity will then be followed up with offline training for selected participants who are willing to become facilitators of clinical training for women-centered comprehensive PAC.
