IFH/IBP MCH collaboration with ACOG
Dear Colleagues, Partners and Friends!
The cooperation with the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists is conducted in the framework of the USAID-funded Institutionalizing Best Practices in Maternal and Child Health (IBP MCH) Project and under the Health Working Group of the Russia-US Bilateral Presidential Commission headed by Presidents of the Russian Federation and the United States of America.

The goal of the IBP MCH project is to decrease maternal and infant mortality in Russia by improving access to, and use of, high quality reproductive health and maternal and child health services in targeted federal districts through the introduction and replication of international best practices to improve birth outcomes. Collaboration with the American College of Obstetricians-Gynecologists (ACOG) contributes to expert exchanges between international expert and staff from the federal centers and exchange of best practices on maternal and child health.
