What this research studies
This research focuses on identifying effective strategies to eliminate mother-to-child transmission of infections in Malawi. It involves coordinating various projects aimed at improving healthcare delivery and implementing successful prevention methods. The Administrative Core will manage and evaluate these projects, ensuring that data systems and procedures are harmonized for better outcomes. By engaging with local health authorities and building capacity among young researchers, the initiative aims to enhance the overall healthcare infrastructure.
Who could benefit from this research
