EviSIP: using evidence to change practice through mentorship – an innovative experience for reproductive health in the Latin American and Caribbean regions
Maternal mortality is unacceptably high in our region. In 2015, the Latin American Center for Perinatology and Women´s Reproductive Health (CLAP) created a regional network of institutions including 16 countries, committed to improving epidemiological surveillance and healthcare of women in a situat...
