Healthcare Infection Prevention and Control for Maternal and Newborn Health
This seminar will look at implementation research in maternity, newborn and paediatric units across several countries.
Two researchers based at LSHTM will cover their extensive experience of conducting implementation research in maternity, newborn and paediatric units across several countries such as Tanzania, Malawi, and Cambodia to improve infection prevention and control and ultimately reduce healthcare-associated infections among mothers and newborns.
Speakers
James Cross, Research Fellow, LSHTM
In this seminar, James will speak about his work in collaboration with NEST 360 Alliance, presenting data from Tanzania, Malawi, Kenya, and Nigeria.
