Within the framework of the implementation of the "Healthy Mother and Child" Program, which has been taking place in Lutsk since 2003, a seminar-training was held at the Lutsk Clinical Maternity Hospital. It was attended by 36 specialists from 4 countries — Lithuania, Moldova, Russia, and four regions of Ukraine. The organizer of the training was the World Health Organization, and the Program is being carried out with the financial support of the American Agency for International Development (USAID). The main goal of the Project is to strengthen the strategy for the protection of reproductive health in Ukraine by introducing modern low-cost, effective and safe perinatal technologies based on evidence-based medicine. The implementation of the Program envisages not only conducting trainings for obstetricians, but also supplying the necessary basic equipment to the medical institutions participating in the project, providing specialists with opportunities to use modern scientific materials, and spreading skills and practices among medical institutions of Ukraine. Among the methods that must now be introduced in perinatal medicine, the organizers of the training name world practices — constant rooming-in of mother and child, the use of exclusive breastfeeding of a child up to 6 months of age, and minimization of the use of medications. A significant moral incentive for a woman in labor is another method — the presence of family members during childbirth. By the way, as reported by the chief physician of the maternity hospital, Nina Zahrebelna, recently more and more Lutsk residents seek to be present at childbirth. All the listed methods are not something particularly new — world medicine has long been practicing a departure from the intensive use of, properly speaking, medications, and instead there is a return to natural ones, which guarantee the basis of health for infants. As a result of the comprehensive use of the mentioned methods — an unproblematic course of pregnancy and normal childbirth, a reduction in mortality rates among newborns, an increase in the overall level of natural health, and the good well-being and psychological state of the mother. The implementation of the Program in Lutsk aroused particular interest among Lithuanian specialists. Associate Professor of Kaunas Medical University, WHO adviser on perinatal medicine Helmius Shyunshinskas noted the extremely high level of the Lutsk maternity hospital — its material base and the professional level of specialists — and expressed confidence that the implementation of the Program should bring great achievements for Lutsk.
