The Nepal Family Cohort Study (NeFCoS) is a multidisciplinary cohort study into the prevalence, incidence, and determinants of various diseases from childhood to adulthood in children and their parents for over two decades.  NeFCoS is a longitudinal study which recently started collecting health and well-being data, and which will collect data repeatedly from the same individuals at certain intervals for years to come.
Today’s programme included a range of academics and policy-makers introducing aspects of the study and its preliminary findings.  Prof. Edwin van Teijlingen did a short presentation offering ‘Special Remarks on Midwifery, Maternal & Perinatal Health’.  To date we have published one academic paper in an Open Access journal on the research protocol of this work [1].
