Every Newborn-INDEPTH study supplement launch
We are delighted to invite you to the launch of a series of 12 papers from the study in BMC Population Health Metrics, mainly with first authors from the sites and/or Makerere University. This supplement has key implications for measuring progress for the Sustainable Development Goals, especially those related to Every Newborn target. There are many findings with practical relevance to improved measurement of pregnancy outcomes in population-based surveys.
We will open the launch with a dedication to Professor Peter Byass, who was the Senior External Editor of the supplement and died suddenly in August 2020. This will be followed by a short film, some presentations from study authors and an interactive panel discussion chaired by Professor Joy Lawn (Director, MARCH Centre, LSHTM and PI, Every Newborn-INDEPTH study) which will include:
- Professor Tumani Corrah- Board Chair, INDEPTH Network and Director, Africa Research Excellence Fund
