The Vermont Oxford Network team is proud to announce another new publication from our Global Health team. This study, co-lead by Dr. Danielle Ehret and the VON global health team members, examines how participating in a structured neonatal quality improvement community in Ethiopia was associated with measurable improvement in care processes and outcomes from 2018-2022. The findings highlight how data-driven collaboration and systems-level approaches can strengthen neonatal care in low-resources settings.
