Our first Spotlight: Group B Strep
Our first Spotlight was on Group B Strep, a major cause of stillbirth and early infant death. This was timed to coincide with Group B Strep Awareness Week 8-14 July 2026. With thanks to our Partner Group B Strep International and our sponsors Kelli and Kevin Smith in honour of their daughter Finley Genevieve.
"Thank you all for contributing to our CHIFA Spotlight on Group B Strep this past week! I am so impressed with all the good work HIFA is doing to promote universal access to reliable healthcare information" Marti Perhach, Group B Strep International, United States, 15 July 2026
