We invite researchers, clinicians, and others with an interest in perinatal care in low- and middle income settings to join us for an engaging seminar addressing one of the greatest contributors to child mortality and morbidity: birth asphyxia. The event will emphasize the urgent need for coordinated multidisciplinary interventions—from pregnancy through birth, neonatal care, early follow-up, and rehabilitation—led by midwives, obstetricians, paediatricians, nurses, physiotherapists, and other key professionals.
