Knowledge Management System
Accessing the latest evidence on maternal newborn health can be challenging for many professionals around the world due to barriers such as expensive journal subscription fees, unreliable internet access and difficulty staying up-to-date with so many different publications.
The Maternal Health Task Force (MHTF) aims to address these barriers through its knowledge management system. The MHTF team identifies important findings by consistently scanning relevant scientific literature, news outlets and publications from a wide range of international and country-level organizations.
