Dilys Walker is an Obstetrician Gynecologist at the University of California San Francisco, and co-founder of PRONTO International ( www.prontointernational.org ), a nonprofit organization that aims to optimize care during birth. PRONTO is an emergency obstetric and neonatal training program that is grounded in highly realistic simulation and team training.. We develop and implement innovative low-cost training strategies that act as a catalyst for health care providers to make individual, team, and systems changes. In PRONTO scenarios, provider teams must manage both maternal and neonatal complications in the critical five minutes during and immediately after birth, when their action can make a life-saving difference. PRONTO International partners with local organizations to train provider teams in Mexico, Guatemala, Kenya, and India
