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
About half of the deaths in low income countries are not registered or medically certified for causes. To fill these gaps in evidence, nationwide mortality studies using verbal autopsies in a random sample of homes have been adopted with the Million Death Study in India, the Healthy Sierra Leone (HEAL-SL) study and elsewhere. Mortality data are informative to understand infectious disease epidemiology. Professor Prabhat Jha will illustrate the relevance of mortality data using examples of HIV in India, Malaria in India and Africa, and SARS-CoV-2 worldwide. He will also present OpenMortality.org, where some of the key data are freely available.
