The Navrongo Health Research Centre (NHRC) made a significant participation at this yearโ€™s American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (ASTMH) Annual Meeting, a premier global platform dedicated to advancing research, innovation, and collaborative solutions in tropical medicine and global health.

Our team joined leading scientists, policymakers, and global health partners to share insights from NHRCโ€™s ongoing work in malaria surveillance, maternal and child health, infectious disease control, and community-based health systems strengthening.

This engagement reflects NHRCโ€™s commitment to contributing to evidence-based research that informs public health interventions across Ghana and beyond.
The ASTMH Meeting provided a valuable opportunity to:
โœ”๏ธ Showcase NHRCโ€™s research outputs and field experiences.
โœ”๏ธ Learn from emerging scientific breakthroughs.
โœ”๏ธ Strengthen collaborations with international research institutions.
โœ”๏ธ Explore novel tools and strategies for improving population health.
NHRC remains dedicated to conducting research that informs policy and enhances health outcomes in underserved communities.

As part of a series of activities and discussions to formulate contextually relevant interventions for Pregnant women and newborns, the Navrongo Health Research Centre hosted a transformative Roundtable Workshop on Heat, Health, and Pregnancy, under the Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies (HeMab) project.
This engagement brought together key stakeholders, including health professionals, traditional leaders, community representatives, district authorities, researchers to form a Society Advisory Group (SAG) to assist in generating favorable interventions for an increasingly urgent public health concern: how heat stress affects pregnant women and newborns.

The workshop co-facilitated by and aimed to deepen collective understanding of the intersection between heat exposure and maternal health, while identifying strategies to integrate research evidence into health policy and practice.
Key discussion areas included:
โœณ๏ธ Local perceptions and lived experiences of heat stress among pregnant women
โœณ๏ธ Emerging insights from the HeMab intervention and Stakeholder Advisory Group activities
โœณ๏ธ Practical actions for health systems and communities to support pregnant mothers and newborns
โœณ๏ธ Pathways for integrating project outcomes into regional heat action and adaptation plans
The workshop reinforced the value of grounded, community-informed research and the importance of cross-sector engagement in improving maternal and neonatal health outcomes.

Today, on World Mosquito Day, the Navrongo Health Research Centre (NHRC) joins the global community to reflect on the impact of mosquitoes on human health and the urgent need for continued research, prevention, and community action.
At Navrongo Health Research Centre, we are committed to advancing research that helps reduce the burden of mosquito-borne diseases.
Through studies on malaria vaccines, vector control strategies, and health system interventions, we are contributing to evidence-based solutions that save lives and improve community health.
On this day, we also remind everyone of the practical steps we can all take to stay safe from mosquitoes:
โœ… Use Mosquito repellents
โœ… Sleep under insecticide-treated bed nets
โœ… Keep mosquitoes out of your homes by installing doors and window screens
โœ… Wear protective clothing during peak biting times.

As we observe World Mosquito Day, we reaffirm our collective commitment to a future free from the devastating impact of mosquito-borne diseases. Together, through research, innovation, and community action, we can "๐€๐œ๐œ๐ž๐ฅ๐ž๐ซ๐š๐ญ๐ž ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐…๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ ๐€๐ ๐š๐ข๐ง๐ฌ๐ญ ๐Œ๐š๐ฅ๐š๐ซ๐ข๐š ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ ๐š ๐Œ๐จ๐ซ๐ž ๐„๐ช๐ฎ๐ข๐ญ๐š๐›๐ฅ๐ž ๐–๐จ๐ซ๐ฅ๐"

This outreach marks the first step toward the commencement of a broader Hepatitis B and C screening study in the Upper East Region, which seeks to generate critical data to inform policy, prevention, and treatment strategies in the sub-region and beyond.

During the sensitization sessions, participants were educated on:
The transmission modes of Hepatitis B and C
The importance of early testing and vaccination
Lifestyle practices that prevent infection
Treatment options and available healthcare resources.

We are proud to be part of the global movement to eliminate viral hepatitis as a public health threat by 2030.
NHRC remains committed to advancing research, promoting community health, and empowering the next generation through knowledge and evidence-based action.
