The PPH Foundation increased visibility of the PPH agenda in Dakar, Senegal. Professor Moses Obimbo presented research on the vaginal microbiome and metabolomics in postpartum haemorrhage at the US–Africa Frontiers of Science, Engineering, and Medicine Symposium held in Dakar from 12 to 14 February 2026. In this forum sponsored by the United States National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, he also highlighted ongoing work applying omics, digital technology, and artificial intelligence to strengthen maternal health systems.
He co-chaired the Maternal and Child Health session with Lee C. C. (Brown University), facilitating scientific dialogue among African and U.S. researchers. Session contributors included Bosede Afolabi, Christopher Rees, and Emily Smith.
