The Mother & Child Project on ONE

By Senator Bill Frist, MD and Jenny Eaton Dyer, PhD
We believe that if we can help keep moms and children healthy worldwide, we can get at the nexus of many sustainable development goals. Moms can go back to work to combat extreme poverty; girls can stay in school to finish secondary school and potentially a university degree; we can promote gender equality, improve maternal and child health, and prevent mother to child transmission of HIV, to name a few outcomes.By Jenny Eaton Dyer, PhD
