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

Posted on October 20, 2017January 2, 2018

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.
