Grand Challenges Meeting in Senegal

This month our team participated in the Grand Challenges Annual Meeting in Dakar, Senegal. The Grand Challenges network fosters collaboration among researchers and implementers like Kybele to advance scientific progress on solving key global health problems for those most in need. This year marks the 20-year anniversary of the Grand Challenges network gathering.

 

Over four days, the meeting convened a dynamic community of innovators from around the globe to exchange learning on cutting-edge scientific advances and to explore how to build a more effective, inclusive, and equitable ecosystem for global health. Kybele was proud to showcase our Obstetric Triage Implementation Package (OTIP) that is being scaled nationally in Ghana with Grand Challenges Canada funding. 

 

We’re grateful to have contributed to the conversations of solving global health issues. Listen to key notes remarks, panel discussions and more here.


What Else Has Kybele Been Up To?


Making Every Baby Count!

Kybele participates in the third Annual Program Review of the Making Every Baby Count Initiative

Kybele recently traveled to Ghana for the annual program review of the Making Every Baby Count Initiative (MEBCI 2.0) with the project's funder, the Children's Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF). This multi-day event included presentations by implementing referral hospitals – Bono Regional Hospital, Greater Accra Regional Hospital, Eastern Regional Hospital Koforidua, and Tema General Hospital – sharing the activities and impact MEBCI has made in their facilities. Congratulations to these hard-working, frontline healthcare workers who are making a difference in Ghana!



September Board Meeting

Our Kybele board members convened in Winston-Salem, NC last month for the annual in-person meeting. With members from across the globe, we had the opportunity to collaborate, discuss highlights, and consider the next steps for the future. The diverse perspectives produced innovative ideas and excitement as Kybele looks ahead and continues to expand its presence and partnerships.



Kybele Publication on the Introduction of Nursing Led bubble-CPAP in a Ghana NICU 

Kybele technical experts co-authored a manuscript published this month in the International Journal of Africa Nursing Sciences that focused on the introduction of nursing-led bubble-continuous positive airway pressure (bCPAP) in a neonatal unit in Ghana to provide respiratory support for newborns with respiratory distress associated with prematurity.

 

The 32-month observational study describes the survival outcomes of bCPAP-treated newborns.

 

Read the study and the positive impacts bCPAP could have in under-resourced hospitals – here.

 

Contributors to the study and manuscript include: SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University, School of Public Health, Wake Forest University School of Medicine, Greater Accra Regional Hospital, Ghana Health Service, Novant Health Forsyth Medical Center, Bunnell Inc.
