Maternal Mortality in sub-Saharan Africa: online workshop

Monday 28 and Tuesday 29 September 2020
1pm - 5pm each day
Online

Please note: this workshop has been posponed from March 2020, and will now take place online over two afternoons. Each day, the main workshop sessions will be followed by a Zoom breakout session to discuss ideas for future research and development. You may attend a breakout session on one or both days. Places on these breakout sessions are limited and priority will be given to current staff and students at the University of Cambridge. The draft programme is available here.

This workshop will bring together researchers and graduate students with an interest in any aspect of maternal mortality in sub-Saharan Africa. There will be presentations from external researchers and practitioners on aspects of history, policy and biomedical research, in order to catalyse discussion and encourage participants to build relationships with colleagues outside their own immediate fields.

The external speakers are:

• Estelle Monique Sidze, Research Scientist, African Population and Health Research Centre (APHRC), Nairobi, Kenya
• Oliver Norah Nabacwa, Midwife, Mulago Specialised Women & Neonatal Hospital, Kampala, Uganda
• Shane Doyle, Professor of African History, University of Leeds, UK
• Anne Løkke, Professor of Danish History, Saxo Institute, University of Copenhagen, Denmark
• Anna Kristiane Mortensen, Research Assistant at Link-Lives, Saxo Institute, University of Copenhagen, Denmark
