Dr. Yasir Nisar from the Department of Maternal, Newborn, Child and Adolescent Health at WHO will summarize quantitative and qualitative findings across these seven countries and Prof. Abdullah Baqui & Dr. Humphreys Nsona will offer reflections to stimulate discussions on next steps for national implementation and scale up.
