Improving maternal and child health in West Africa – the importance of knowledge translation

Improving maternal and child health in West Africa – the importance of knowledge translation

From February 18-20, 2016, I attended a workshop on the situational analysis of maternal and child health in West Africa. Held in Dakar, Senegal, the workshop provided a unique platform for researchers working on maternal and child health to engage with government policymakers from a number of West African countries.

A key point of discussion was the gaps and opportunities for effective knowledge transfer and the use of evidence for improving health outcomes. Below I share some of my reflections on knowledge translation from the workshop.
