The Pregnancy and Newborn Health team is developing and implementing strategies to improve outcomes for pregnant women, young babies and families.

The program includes clinical trials and implementation studies aiming to prevent stillbirth and prematurity and its complications, as well as improve human milk feeding for vulnerable babies.

The program also includes clinical trials of nutritional interventions in pregnancy including folic acid and iodine supplementation to understand the optimal doses to promote long term maternal and child health.
