Study team think that neonatal mortality may have been under reported in the study areas during study period, as was clearly higher in pre-study survey results. Challenging uncertainties. #msfscidays

iNCK study enrolled almost 20,000 women. Uptake and acceptance was very good. Strong secondary outcomes. Neonatal mortality was lower than expected in both trial and control arm, and was not significantly reduced in intervention arm. #msfscidays

For our final session, Daniel Farrar from @SickKidsGlobal presents findings from Gilgit Baltistan, Pakistan. A simple newborn care kit delivered by community health workers reduced umbilical cord infections and dangerous post birth bleeding, demonstrating the strong potential of low-cost community based care for hard to reach populations. #globalchildhealth #MSFscidays

@ViiVHC do better! We want pricing transparency and accountability to drive access to vital preventative tools! Our science shows how much #PrEP is needed and wanted in key populations. #HIV thrives in silence so why ask for silence in your procurement policies? #MSFscidays

High % of people chose injectable PrEP over oral as initial choice, and used it longer (in early findings). About 1 in 5 people had low level injection site discomfort. Preference based on things like convenience, discretion, duration of protection. Some barriers. #msfscidays

HIV thrives in silence: Marginalised people need access to long-acting injectable HIV prevention the most, with a peer-delivery model proving most effective.

What happens when HIV prevention is designed around community preferences? Early findings from Beira, Mozambique suggest that many participants prefer long acting injectable HIV prevention delivered by peers over daily oral medication. #MSFscidays

Panellist Melissa on ethical considerations in what data is used and how it is used as humanitarian testimony. Trust is key. Clinical care objectives are not same as advocacy objectives. Data protection crucial. #msfscidays

Panellist Larissa notes that MSF voice can be powerful testimony. But speaking out doesn't always bring justice or accountability, e.g. attacks on healthcare. #msfscidays
