Demand for global health training among obstetrics and gynaecology trainees in Australia and New Zealand: Insights from the TIGHT study.
Global health (GH) training aims to equip clinicians with the skills and knowledge to practise in international and cross-cultural environments. Interest among obstetrics and gynaecology trainees is unknown. ⋯ There is significant demand for GH training among RANZCOG trainees. These findings should inform the development of accredited rotations in RLEs and the cultivation of safe and effective global women's health training pathways. Ideally, these arrangements should be underpinned by mutually beneficial partnerships with both educational and development objectives.

Severe acute maternal morbidity trends in Victoria, 2001-2017.
The incidence of severe acute maternal morbidity (SAMM) is one method of measuring the complexity of maternal health and monitoring maternal outcomes. Monitoring trends may provide a quantitative method for assessing health care at local, regional, or jurisdictional levels and identify issues for further investigation. ⋯ Over 17 years, there was a significant increase in birth rate and SAMM-related events in Victoria. Administrative data may provide a pragmatic approach for monitoring SAMM-related events in maternal health services.
