“Organised by Dr Uduak Okomo, Clinical Assistant Professor at MRCG at LSHTM and Coordinator of Maternal and Newborn Health Research, in collaboration with the On Tackling In-transit Delays for Mothers in Emergency Consortium at LSHTM, Google, and the Gambian Ministry of Health, the meeting brought together policymakers, health system implementers, researchers, development partners, and health professionals to discuss evidence-based strategies to reduce stillbirths and improve newborn survival nationwide.”
What Dr Uduak Okomo has said
“In hot, climate-vulnerable settings such as The Gambia, women may be giving birth in facilities where keeping maternity wards cool is challenging, particularly during the hottest periods of the year. As extreme heat becomes more frequent and intense, we need to think carefully about how maternity services can remain safe, resilient and able to provide high-quality care for women and newborns.”
