Greetings from Group B Strep International!

Today is the first day of July which is International Group B Strep Awareness Month! Group B strep (GBS) is a significant cause of babies worldwide being stillborn, being born too soon, becoming sick, having lifelong health challenges, and dying. We welcome you to promote GBS awareness in your community with GBS fast facts, social media graphics, and more which can be found in our July toolkit at gbsi.me/gbsam.

We are also hosting the online International Conference on Group B Strep (ICGBS) 2021 being held July 20-22 and are honored that Prof. Joy Lawn will be our keynote speaker. Please join us as we collaborate to reduce the burden of GBS disease in babies wordwide. Registration is complimentary. To learn more and to register, please visit gbsi.me/ICGBS2021.
