Fernando Wehrmeister and Aluisio Barros

In June 13 -17 researchers from the International Center for Equity in Health (ICEH) Aluisio Barros and Fernando Wehrmeister participated in the event “Producing reliable national and subnational health statistics with a focus on maternal, newborn and child health and nutrition” whose objective was to strengthen skills of the country teams in the analysis of health facility and national and subnational data. The event was promoted by the Countdown to 2030, with the support from the African Population Health Research Center and Global Financing Facility. Twenty-two countries sent participants, all of them from the Sub-Saharan African region. ICEH researchers coordinated the training session “Survey coverage and equity analyses to support facility data analyses” showing how to work with coverage indexes and equity measures at national and subnational levels. During the workshops, participants learned about tools to work health facility data collected by their own countries.
