We know that simulation is an effective learning strategy, but highly realistic birth simulation has been prohibitively expensive and complex. The PRONTOPack™ birth Simulation Kit and the PartoPants™ birth simulator are game changers. PRONTO uses low-tech, low-cost tools to make simulation affordable and available in any setting.
