Hi colleagues.  With Carlos Cuellar’s leave of absence, the position of technical lead for the MCH technical segment was left vacant.  I am very pleased to announce that Lisa Nichols has kindly agreed to step in, at least temporarily, to work with Lara Hensley on managing this very dynamic technical segment.  Thank you, Lisa.

As a reminder, the leads of IHD’s technical segments and cross-cutting technical working groups are:

Technical Segments:

·         Health Systems Strengthening (Subtopics: eHealth, Governance, Health Finance and Economics, Human Resources for Health): Catherine Connor and Julie Doherty

·         Infectious Diseases (Subtopics: HIV, TB, Malaria): Cathy Thompson and Katherine Brouhard

·         Maternal, Newborn, and Child Health: Lisa Nichols and Lara Hensley

·         Family Planning/Reproductive Health: Caroline Quijada and Robin Keeley

·         Chronic (Non-Communicable) Diseases: Elizabeth MacGregor-Skinner and Dasha Migunov

Cross-Cutting Technical Working Groups:

·         Behavior Change Communication: Gael O’Sullivan and Caytie Decker

·         Service Delivery: Kuhu Maitra and Ekpenyong Ekanem

·         Private Sector: Jeff Barnes and Soonie Choi

Please feel free to reach out to these colleagues to contribute to, and benefit from the activities of these groups.

Thanks.

Thierry
