This will be followed by six selected original science platform presentations. The morning will conclude with a series of lectures by Dr. K. S. Joseph, Dr. Isaac Blickstein from Israel and Dr. Annie Janvier on the epidemiology and impact of multiple birth and assisted reproduction.
- Tuesday afternoon. A special concurrent seminar highlighting the epidemiology and impact of late preterm birth will be delivered by Dr. K. S. Joseph and Dr. Lucky Jain.
