How can we achieve quality neonatal care? An ethnography of sick newborn care in Kenyan hospitals

Dorothy is a research officer based at the KEMRI-Wellcome Trust Research Programme. Her research aims to explore the experiences and roles of parents and informal caregivers in caring for hospitalised sick newborns. The study will also investigate approaches through which quality of care and neonatal outcomes could be improved through strategies that formally engage parents and informal caregivers in caring for sick newborns. Dorothy will undertake a DPhil at the Open University, supervised by Dr Caroline Jones and Professor Mike English.

This grant was awarded under the scheme's previous name of Training Fellowships in Public Health and Tropical Medicine.
