The Johns Hopkins Maternal and Child Health Center in India was formed in early 2020 with the mission to strengthen public health education, accelerate research in maternal and child health, and support implementation of public health interventions that will reduce disparities and improve the lives of mothers and children in India and bring us closer towards achieving the Sustainable Developmental Goals (SDGs).
The MCHI Annual Report 2020 summarizes the activities from the launch year including new courses and research projects on maternal nutrition, newborn health, immunization coverage, health utilization, and COVID-19 infection and vaccine preparedness.
