Thought-provoking 2days dedicated to #climate impact on #health. Pleased to disseminate some of our recent work on climate-vulnerable populations & climate-sensitive dis; discussed CSD epidemiology, SDH linkage and scope of community participation in climate-health R&I. @glohmed

Our new #HPSR paper digs out differences in primary healthcare systems in LMICs & the complexity of first/referral service points, then suggests strengthening First Referral Hospitals to improve care. Also incl. 8 LMICs case studies. @HPP_LSHTM @glohmed https://t.co/YTqTmo747I

Our team is in #Gambia to discuss current progress & challenges in delivering ANC,newborn care & immunization in African & SouthAsian countries. We also visited #Bundung Maternal Child Health Center, learned about their exemplary health services & data management system #glohmed

Our research team in action as we aim to improve (maternal) health data systems in selected facilities as a pilot. #BPKIHS Dharan

Did you know maternal BMI during early pregnancy could be a risk factor for lower respiratory infections in children? A nationwide cohort study from Denmark showed 16-21% increased risk of LRI in offsprings of obese mothers. Li et al. #PIDJ

Last year, dengue cases surpassed "secure zone" in March, crossed "alarm zone" in July. Alarms could've been triggered for potential outbreak in March; epidemic could've been declared in early July. In absence of alarm systems, cases & deaths surged until October #TMGH @glohmed

Decarbonization actions (that remove combustion-related emissions contributing to ambient PM2.5 and NO2) would likely lead to substantial but geographically-varied reductions in childhood asthma and adverse birth outcomes, this study by #LSHTM finds.

🆕 paper in @LancetGH highlights that neural tube defects, a largely preventable condition, are a common cause of death among stillbirths and neonatal deaths, especially in Ethiopia. 👉 https://t.co/PbsRMmNs9G

GLOHMED collaborates with academic partners and hospitals to train Nepali clinicians perform point-of-care ultrasound of lungs.. POCUS could help in effective management of #respiratory diseases, particularly in absence of X-ray (which uses hazardous ionizing radiation).. #POCUS

Join us on Monday as we kick off #WIW with a discussion the current and future landscape of maternal immunisation, with a focus on RSV and GBS vaccine developments Don't miss out- 17:30hrs BST in person and online! https://t.co/A9H1fexLbc

Brazil’s urban areas could soon be swarming with modified mosquitoes, in the first nationwide effort to fight dengue at the bacterial level.

More than a quarter of adults worldwide are falling short when it comes to physical activity. @WHO says even moderate exercise can help prevent disease, boost mental well-being & much more. https://t.co/Xz9YzVFXN9 #BeActive
