OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Despite tremendous progress over the last two decades, nearly ninety women and children die in India every hour. Most of these deaths are preventable, and occur in pockets of populations characterised by remoteness, marginalisation, and poverty. What stops progress at the last mile? What works at scale? What lessons can we draw for public health more broadly?
In this talk, Chandrika Bahadur, CEO of the Antara Foundation, will join Professor Alan Stein, Senior Research Fellow in Global Health and Public Policy, to explore these questions. Chandrika Bahadur will bring the lessons of ten years of work from the Antara Foundation, a remarkable organisation that uses data to train community health workers and young mothers to identify and manage risk at the right time, in some of central India’s most difficult regions.
