Collaboration For Maternal and Newborn Health
The Collaboration for Maternal & Newborn Health (CMNH)
is an initiative designed to increase communication and interdisciplinary
practice between all maternity care providers. The members
of the Steering and Advisory committees include family physicians,
obstetricians, nurses, midwives, researchers and doula educators.
We work as a team to develop an integrated approach to maternity
care education, research, advocacy, policy, and sustainability.
CMNH Support
The Collaboration for Maternal and Newborn Health (CMNH) was
born in 2001 following the successful application for Special
Populations funding from the UBC Department of Family Practice,
School of Medicine. This funding falls under a comprehensive
Strategic Teaching Initiative established to support the integration
of teaching and research into the care of populations whose
health status and/or access to services is at greater risk,
or is measurably lower than that of the general population.
The long-term goal of these grants is to enhance health status
through support of teaching and research initiatives that
reflect the principles of interdisciplinary, integrated health
care delivery. The CMNH receives additional support from BC
Women’s Hospital departments of family practice, obstetrics
& gynaecology, midwifery and nursing. For more information
