In collaboration with the National Medical Academy for Post Graduate Education (NMAPE) and the Volyn Children Hospital, an interactive learning software has been developed. The software transforms the administrative order (NAKAZ) for the "Normal Delivery" into a practice oriented tool with practical information for the clinical application. The software is available on CD and can be ordered using the contact form. The software is elaborated and disseminated under the open software development concept and available for free.
