This is a past event

Workshop and policy panel

This two?day multi?disciplinary seminar will bring together public health experts, health professionals, social scientists and policy makers to discuss the links between MDGs 4 and 5 and poverty. The call for papers for this meeting was launched at the recent 'Women Deliver' conference in which our team's session on 'Reaching poor women and newborns ? Delivering equitable solutions' introduced the themes on which the Aberdeen seminar will be based:

Exploring the links between poverty, maternal, newborn and child health at macro and micro levels:

  • Will failure to reach MDGs 4 and 5 increase the poverty of families, communities and nations?
  • Reducing poverty and strengthening health systems for mothers and children: how can both agendas be addressed?

 Overcoming poverty together with achieving the MDGs for mothers and children: how can we determine what works?
