On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Most deaths in LMICs lack medical attention at the time of death so their causes are unknown. Using studies from Asia and Africa, Prof. Jha will discuss the desirability and means of obtaining national cause of death data where death registration is uncommon, and outline how reliable mortality data informs risk factor epidemiology and disease control priorities and programs.
Prabhat Jha is University Professor and Canada Research Chair in Global Health at the University of Toronto. He completed his DPhil from Magdalen College under the late Dame Valerie Beral and has worked for many years at the World Bank and WHO.
