birthing roomTalbot Himalayans 2016We like to congratulate Ms. Preeti Mahato, Ph.D. student in the Centre for Midwifery, Maternal and Perinal Health (CMMPH) in the Faculty of Health & Social Sciences, has been awarded a Civil Society Scholar Award by the Open Society Foundations for US$ 8,000.  The Civil Society Scholar Award offers support for international research activities, such as fieldwork, research visits, or research collaboration at institutions abroad.  Preeti has been awarded her scholarship for her Ph.D. fieldwork in Nepal.  Her Ph.D. project is a mixed-methods study of birthing centres in Nawalparasi, in southern Nepal.  In Nepal, birthing centres act as first contact point for pregnant women seeking maternity services especially basic obstetric care.

Preeti is supervised by Dr. Catherine Angell and Prof. Edwin van Teijlingen, both based in CMMPH and BU Visiting Faculty Prof. Padam Simkhada, who is based at Liverpool John Moores University.  This is the third piece of really good news this year for Preeti as last month she gave birth to a lovely baby girl and earlier this year the first article from her Ph.D. research was accepted for publication in the Asian Journal for Midwives.

 

Congratulations!

Prof. Edwin van Teijlingen
