Every year, 40 million women give birth without a skilled birth attendant. Well-trained healthcare personnel can make the difference between life and death. Yet many providers lack access to the training tools they need to practice critical hands-on skills and simulation-based training.
Buy One, Gift One (BOGO) is a joint program by Laerdal Medical and Laerdal Global Health. It ensures that every purchase of a maternal simulator for use in a high-income country creates training opportunities in a high mortality country.
For every maternal simulator purchased through Laerdal Medical, a MamaBirthie CS or MamaNatalie simulator is donated to a high-impact partner program in a low-income country. This donation also includes Helping Mothers and Babies Survive educational materials. These training tools help healthcare teams build confidence, strengthen teamwork, and improve the quality of maternal and newborn care.
Birthing and safe c-section simulator
MamaBirthie CS makes it possible for healtcare workers to train for cesarean section as well as normal births and birth complications.
Postpartum Complications Simulator
MamaNatalie helps build confidence and competency of health workers and teams in the prevention and management of postpartum hemorrhage.
Step-by-step learning resources
To support healthcare professionals, we provide educational materials and posters to guide them safely through emergency situations.
Through the BOGO program, Laerdal Medical customers make these donations possible, while Laerdal Global Health strategically allocates the simulators and educational resources to partner programs where they can have the greatest impact.
