Thank you everyone for following our global discussion on group B strep this past week! We so appreciate hearing the perspectives of those who posted and would especially like to thank Neil and his team for coordinating this first Spotlight. Thank you, Neil, for moderating the posts and your insightful comments!
Also, giving a special shoutout to our parent sponsors, Kelli and Kevin Smith, who sponsored this global discussion in honor of their daughter Finley Genevieve to make a difference for families worldwide!
Looking forward to continuing conversations on group B strep and would like to share some resources to help us all further group B strep disease awareness and prevention year-round:
- GBS Awareness Materials: https://www.groupbstrepinternational.org/downloadable-gbs-awareness-mate...
- Take (if eligible) and share our WAVES Study to help identify gaps in care and communication regarding GBS disease in babies: https://www.groupbstrepinternational.org/waves.html
- To connect with fellow researchers, healthcare professionals, & professional health advocates focused on GBS research and disease prevention, join us at: https://www.gbsresearchconnect.org/
I am so impressed with all the good work HIFA.org has done to promote universal access to reliable healthcare information. I hope this discussion will inspire us all to empower parents, healthcare workers and policymakers in all resource settings with the information and tools they need to reduce the suffering caused by group B strep disease worldwide.
Best and many thanks!
