Correcting educational gaps in the health sector is not an easy feat. A blended learning program designed by the Global Development Learning Network (GDLN) partner, the Tokyo Development Learning Center is helping to fill the gap. On April 30, 2008, more than 400 health care specialists across Ulaan Bataar received training to improve maternal health and reduce some 530,000 deaths attributed to pregnancy each year. The Mother and Child Healthcare Program provides nurses and midwives in remote areas with updated information and the option to self-study and interact with colleagues in other locations through DVDs, webcasts and Moodle, a learning management system.
