- $346,194 spent. In 2024-25, PRONTO International continued efforts to expand its U.S.-based work, applying lessons learned from our international programs to strengthen maternal and newborn health initiatives across diverse contexts, specifically working on obstetric and neonatal emergencies in maternity deserts. PRONTO worked to expand curricular depth by developing new modules for the Indian context and collaborating on curriculum for the U.S. on simulation to support providers caring for mothers with substance use disorders. 2024-25 brought systemic changes to the global health funding landscape. PRONTO's employees and Board of Directors spent time this year on strategic planning to identify the best ways to meet PRONTO's mission while managing rapidly changing external factors. In Kenya, PRONTO continued to support Dr. Patience Afulani's research studying the impact of training on provider burnout. In India, PRONTO continued its support for midwifery education and in-service simulation trainings with local medical colleges. In addition, PRONTO expanded its curricular offerings specific to India through local curriculum development activities. In partnership with the University of Utah, PRONTO continued its involvement in Project INSPIRE (Interprofessional Simulation Program for Clinical Resilience and Empathy), focused on caring for pregnant individuals with substance use disorders (SUD). Building on findings from Aim 1, PRONTO is helping to develop a comprehensive training package (Aim 2) that includes high-fidelity simulations, teamwork and communication exercises, and case-based learning to address stigma, bias, and respectful care. PRONTO Master Trainers-experienced across both U.S. and global settings-are facilitating a set of sessions for rural hospital clinic champions. PRONTO also supplies all simulation materials, including PartoPants and PRONTOPacks. Collaborating with the Northern New England Perinatal Quality Improvement Network, the STONE program, Dartmouth Hitchcock, and the University of Utah's LIFT Lab, PRONTO adapted its PRONTOStat curriculum and built a train-the-trainer package for EMS and Emergency Department teams responding to maternal and neonatal emergencies in maternity deserts. PRONTO co-designed the training with local partners and facilitated an interprofessional training in Concord, NH. An additional set of trainings and curriculum development activities were completed in 2024-25.
