Event on 2 November | Launch of MHTF-PLOS Collection, "Non-Communicable Diseases and Maternal Health Around the Globe"

The Maternal Health Task Force (MHTF) is thrilled to announce the launch of the fifth MHTF-PLOS Collection, “Non-Communicable Diseases and Maternal Health Around the Globe.” The partnership between the MHTF and the Public Library of Science (PLOS) began in 2011 with the goal of expanding global access to high quality maternal health research, particularly in low-resource settings, and increasing the visibility of maternal health professionals working in the Global South.

To mark the launch of the collection, the MHTF will be hosting a live-streamed panel discussion at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health’s Leadership Studio on 2 November 2017 from 10:00am-11:00am ET.
