PURPOSE:
At the ICM 2026 conference, we will present a new module within the Safe Delivery App, a widely used digital micro-learning tool developed by Maternity Foundation with partners. This upcoming module focuses on the diagnosis, pain management, and surgical repair of first- and second-degree perineal lacerations and episiotomies. The module is designed to strengthen midwifery competencies and improve maternal outcomes in middle and low income settings (2).

DISCUSSION:
Supporting learning in middle- and low income countries requires contextually relevant, culturally sensitive, and accessible tools. The new suturing module addresses these needs by offering free, high quality, evidence-based micro-learning content tailored to the realities of midwives working in resource constrained environments.

EVIDENCE WHERE RELEVANT:
Research shows that diagnosing and classifying perineal trauma is a complex skill to master, even for experienced clinicians (3). Digital tools such as the Safe Delivery App can help bridge this gap by providing educational material for self-paced micro-learning and practical hands-on training.

KEY MESSAGE:
The new suturing module will be launched at the ICM 2026 conference and will be freely available through the Safe Delivery App. It includes instructional videos, step by step procedures, action cards, drug lists, and interactive MyLearning quizzes. This tool is designed to help midwives build confidence, retain knowledge, and deliver respectful, high-quality care. Humanitarian 2
