Talks about CALMED
Dr. Santanu Acharya, MBBS MD FICOG MSc FRCOG, also in our training team highlighted the essential work by CALMED.
Technical Networking Expert Alliance (T.E.N.A.)
A resource for an evidence-based template of Action through structured vocational training for heightened impact and extended reach.
What is it? It is an alliance of Rotarians, Rotaractors (in Clubs, Districts, Fellowships and Action Groups), Health care professionals, global organisations, NGOs and activists united in action for the elimination of preventable maternal and child mortality.
Mission – Action based on the situational analysis, the CALMED template, accelerating individual tailormade country initiatives towards SDG 3 goals, especially in underserved areas,in alignment with existing Country initiatives, Quality of Care Network and Joint Working Team (WHO).
Stop Mothers Dying!
About 300,000 women and 3 million babies worldwide die each year in pregnancy and childbirth – 90% in the deprived developing world, especially SE Asia and Africa. Most of these deaths are due to delays in provision and access of quality emergency care and could be prevented through fast track training of professionals, raising awareness in the communities and behavioural changes in support of faster provision and access to medical help.
Empowerment through structured training is a low cost, high impact strategic solution.

The Solution:
Collaborative action needed at all levels to achieve universal health coverage.
‘Calmed’ addresses all these issues by sending high quality medical teams to share their skills with their local peers, who will cascade them right down to village level, continuing long after the team departs.
Does it Work?
The CALMED programme training components are evidence-based, aimed at a sustainable increase in the number of skilled professionals and community empowerment. Subsequent Pilot evaluation (in Sikkim and Gujarat, India) validated the CALMED structured training programme, as a low-cost high impact, modular programme. The modules can be adjusted to the local needs and priorities in maternal and new-born mortality reduction, following the core principles of CALMED programme.
Our Mission: Universal Health coverage (UHC)
Increase in the number of trained health care workers (doctors, nurses, midwives);
Mobilise the community to raise awareness of maternal health issues including family spacing;
Improved analysis of all maternal and baby deaths to identify avoidable factors;
Quality improvement in training methods and fast track access to maternal care;
Introduce Structured Training and Digital Technology for empowerment.
