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
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.
