Company specializing in breastfeeding education for healthcare professionals has partnered with global distributor of maternal and newborn health solutions

Ypsilanti, Jan 13, 2021 (Issuewire.com) - LiquidGoldConcept, a leader in simulation-based training of healthcare professionals in clinical lactation, has partnered with Maternova. 

Doctors, nurses, midwives, and community health workers around the world will now have access to high-quality breastfeeding and lactation training simulators paired with a case-based curriculum.

The LiquidGoldConcept breastfeeding education products will join an impressive suite of innovations in the Maternova global marketplace for newborn and maternal health solutions.

Maternova will distribute the LiquidGoldConcept Lactation Simulation Model and Breast Health Training Tool in 29 countries and sell to dozens of NGOs, foundations, and non-profit organizations.

"The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated a long-standing problem, namely the inadequate training of physicians, nurses, and health workers in clinical lactation," says Anna Sadovnikova, the Chief Executive Officer at LiquidGoldConcept and clinical lactation specialist. "The partnership between LiquidGoldConcept and Maternova will usher in a new standard in education, improving the delivery of care to lactating mothers and newborns during and following the COVID-19 pandemic."

Maternova is a global company accelerating access to life-saving innovations in maternal and newborn health. "For too long the global health community has told health teams to support breastfeeding, but lacked the high-fidelity simulation equipment to properly train the healthcare workers in clinical lactation," states Meg Wirth, the Founder and President at Maternova. "Our team is pleased to offer the gold standard in lactation simulation, case-based learning, and breast health training, pioneered by the scientists, clinicians, and engineers at LiquidGoldConcept.  We will work first with schools of midwifery, nursing, and medicine to ensure widespread access to this evidence-based technology," states Wirth. 

"With the Lactation Simulation Model, I know we will be able to equip new mothers and caregivers with the knowledge to confidently identify breastfeeding complications such as mastitis and engorgement and gain the hands-on skills needed to hand express and manage common breastfeeding problems," remarks Dr. Amanda Dornfeld, MD, IBCLC, a LiquidGoldConcept customer who specializes in Breastfeeding Medicine at Columbus Regional Health in Ohio, USA.

"Doctors, nurses, and maternal-child health workers use our products to actively practice skills like hand expression and newborn positioning and attachment at the breast. When women receive timely and skilled lactation support, they are 43% more likely to initiate breastfeeding and 21% less likely to prematurely wean at 6 weeks," writes Sam Chuisano, CLC, MPH, the Chief Operating Officer of LiquidGoldConcept.
