Advancing Maternal Pain Management After Cesarean Delivery in a Rural Tanzanian Hospital Through Hybrid Global Health Education
This study demonstrates the impact of global health educational interventions, including virtual workshops and bidirectional exchange, on maternal pain outcomes in a Tanzanian hospital. Preintervention data collection fostered heightened awareness among the FAME nurse anesthetists of the severity of post-cesarean pain. The introduction of TAP blocks further improved their existing multimodal analgesic strategy with a clinically significant reduction in maximum pain scores. This educational strategy aims to advance global anesthesia goals, including building longitudinal partnership, thereby enhancing access to safe anesthesia education and promoting sustainable capacity building.
