Building capacity for maternal, newborn and child health research in low-income country settings: A research fellowship experience in Ethiopia
This robust and comprehensive HaSET MNCH Research Fellowship produced the first cohort of dedicated fellows trained in evidence-based medicine and mentored them to become effective public health professionals. They conducted high-quality studies to inform policy decisions on MNCH interventions in Ethiopia. Given its sustainability and scalability, researchers and academic institutions can further adapt the fellowship curriculum within capacity-building programmes to educate the next generation of research leaders in LMICs.
