The training addressed Africa's maternal and child health needs through customized courses on fields including pregnancy care, newborn emergency care, and high-risk pregnancy management. It featured lectures, hands-on practice, case studies, and clinical observation, led by Chinese experts in neonatology, midwifery, and traditional Chinese medicine.

Upenendo Shoruaseli Safari, from Tanzania, had high praise for the course. "Every class got straight to the point from theory to simulation and then to clinical observation," she said.
