Tune in Today for Maternal Health and HIV: Global Priorities for Research and Action

The MHTF and our partners at UNFPA and the Wilson Center are convening Maternal Health and HIV: Global Priorities for Research and Action, the latest in the ongoing MH Dialogues series today at the Wilson Center in Washington, DC. The dialogue will include be webcast live, beginning at noon (EST), with two panel discussions:

• 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm: Addressing HIV Stigma and Preventing Disrespect and Abuse: Global Insights to Improve Maternal Health and Promote Reproductive Rights

In addition to exploring critical challenges for developing and implementing high quality maternal health, HIV and AIDS services, the first panel will also serve as a launch for the Research and Evaluation Agenda for Maternal Health and HIV in sub-Saharan Africa, developed by the Maternal Health Task Force and the CDC based on last June’s technical meeting, Maternal Health, HIV and AIDS: Examining research through a programmatic lens – the full agenda and a technical summary will be published on the MHTF website following the dialogue.
