Abstract

Southwestern Ugandan SBAs encounter gastroschisis babies, have limited training in its management and desire a training course. Engaging SBAs into a task-sharing role on delivery is a promising next step. Additional studies will be needed to determine if this can improve gastroschisis survival by reducing delays in care and improving community awareness.
