The TRIO Bridge Foundation enhances maternal and fetal health through
simulation training and targeted education. Using research and evidence-
based guidance, we train doctors and nurses to improve outcomes for
mothers and babies focusing on prevention and intervention to relieve
sickness.
These objectives are achieved in collaboration with health and social care
stakeholders who aim to develop and maintain skills and knowledge for
medical professionals. Thisapproach helpsthem utilize and sustain training
programs for their benefit and that of the population they serve.
Page 2

The organization also functions as a social enterprise dedicated to
promoting a holistic and evidence-based approach to healthcare provision
in developing countries.
PERFORMANCE AND ACHIEVEMENTS:
Maternal deaths are often preventable, as effective healthcare solutions to
address complications are established. Access to quality care during
pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period is essential for all women.
Maternal and newborn health are interrelated.
Skilled healthcare
professionals should attend all births, as appropriate management and
treatment can be critical for both maternal and neonatal outcomes.
With this background and evidence. a multidisciplinary team aimed to
improve childbirth outcomes through training, leading to a Mission to
Ghana. Theyearly evaluation showed that proper use of human factors and
resources reduces morbidity and mortality rates. This was essential for
updating the MOSET training program. Selected hospitals in Ghana would
receive refresher courses and additional training as needed.
To achieve our goals, we secured funding and donations for hospital needs.
Essential medical equipment and items for maternity wards were received
and shipped before the mission.
In September 2023, 12 UK-based volunteers from various professions
travelled to Ghana.
The purpose was to..
provide MOSET training at 37 Military Hospital, Ankaase Methodist
Hospital, and the University of Ghana Medical Centre.
reach out to the Ghanaian community through linking/liaising with
representatives of the M inistry of Health and other health institutions,
creating awareness of our multi-disciplinary approach to training and
its effectiveness and promoting partnerships.
Identify additional areas where the TRIO Bridge Foundation could
provide valuable services and address those needs effectively.
When not overseas, the charity collaborates with the UK Methodist and
other Churches to deliver health seminars and promotions etc.
Page 3

Both senior and junior medical staff participated in all training days, with
approximately 90% attendance observed at all designated hospitats
compared to the targeted number of attendees.
The "Train the Trainer" sesslons were well attended. provldlng transferable
skills and knowledge beneficial for spreading the MOSET programme and
alding the medical community.
The evaluation showed a strong grasp of maternlty emergency content but
identif led teamwork as an area needing improvement.
