Improving the quality of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) through pre-service training, research, and evidence-based clinical care delivery in Sub-Saharan Africa

The “Improving the quality of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) through pre-service training, research, and evidence-based clinical care delivery in Sub-Saharan Africa” conference is organized by the Center for International Reproductive Health Training at the University of Michigan (CIRHT-UM). CIRHT partners with academic institutions in low-resource settings to support and strengthen their capacity to provide competency-based preservice training in contraceptive care (CC), comprehensive abortion care (CAC), and sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR).

CIRHT’s third scientific conference will be held in Gulu, Uganda from 17-19 September 2025. The three-day conference will serve as a platform for education and research in CC/CAC/SRHR and will showcase research and evidence in the form of original oral and e-poster presentations, plenary lectures by international leaders, and expert panels.

The conference will draw participants from a diverse group of professionals including nurse/midwives, OB-GYNs, faculty and trainees, and policy makers. CIRHT is seeking abstracts highlighting the best science in the areas of contraception, comprehensive abortion care, and sexual and reproductive health and rights.
