In this webinar, you will hear results from one of <\/span>PTBi EA<\/a> anchor studies, a cluster randomized trial evaluating how an intrapartum quality of care improvement package can impact preterm survival in Kenya and Uganda. Funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the study was recently published via PLOS One<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
