Joint Research Workshop: FHS/AUB and Damascus University

                 
       

A research workshop on childbirth practices was held at the Faculty of Health Sciences (FHS) on November 23. A team of four researchers from the Departments of Community Medicine and Obstetrics & Gynecology at Damascus University, Syria, and a team of eight researchers from FHS participated in the event.
The workshop is part of research activities being carried out by the newly established Center for Research on Population and Health in the Faculty, funded by the Wellcome Trust grant to FHS. The joint workshop's aim was to present and discuss research findings and research proposals on childbirth practices within the regional initiative. It ended with a plan for continued collaboration.
Research proposals presented by the team from Damascus University included: "Women's Satisfaction with Childbirth
Services: a Study in Damascus";
