WISE is pleased to announce a virtual WISE Public Lecture with Dr. Niall Conroy. Please join us on Zoom to discuss the remarkable transformation of newborn care at Bo Government Hospital in Sierra Leone’s second-largest city. In 2013, when Niall first arrived in-country, the hospital’s children’s ward was seeing only around 10 newborns a month—despite handling 5,000 deliveries per year in a country with one of the highest neonatal mortality rates in the world. Limited services and poor outcomes led many parents and healthcare workers to believe that seeking care for sick babies was futile; most newborns died either at home or in the labour ward. Over the past decade, the hospital’s special care baby unit has been transformed. This talk will share the story of that evolution and explore how sustainable energy solutions played a key role in building a trusted, life-saving service for the community.

Join us for the launch of the CareNext Collective, a new innovation forum that brings together partners across the ��ݮ��Ƶ Regional Health Network, the University of ��ݮ��Ƶ, and the broader regional ecosystem. Hear from Danina Kapetanovic, Dr. Catharine Burns, and Dr. Zayna Khayat as they discuss innovation in health care, research and system transformation.

This presentation explores how social capital can be harnessed to support place transformation. Despite its recognized importance, social capital remains poorly understood due to fragmented definitions and theories. By framing it as a form of capital, this talk presents a unified framework that clarifies how elements like trust, networks, and norms enable collective action
