We’ll hear about a partnership between the University of Chicago’s Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and the Centre for Population and Reproductive Health at University College Hospital in Ibadan, Nigeria. The organizations work together to share information and strategies for reducing maternal mortality rates and improving access to birth control.

We talk with Dr. Oladosu Ojengbede, Director of the Centre for Population and Reproductive Health at the University College Hospital in Ibadan, Nigeria and Dr. Melissa Gilliam, Director of Family Planning at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Chicago.
