In this episode of Brown Women Health, we dive into two fascinating papers that highlight critical health issues for South Asian women and infants. First, we discuss the Nurture Early for Optimal Nutrition (NEON) pilot study, which explores the impact of participatory learning and action women's groups on improving infant feeding practices in South Asia. Next, we explore a qualitative synthesis of South Asian women's perspectives on maternity care services, shedding light on their unique experiences and challenges in accessing care.
Join us as we break down these insightful studies and discuss their implications for improving maternal and infant health outcomes in South Asian communities.
