This highlight is very dear to my heart.
This year we sponsored a training for pediatricians in Nigeria, at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, on how to conduct the Bayley Assessment. The Bayley is a standardized exam for assessing neurodevelopmental delays in children. Bayley scores are important data we need for our clinical studies, but many centers in low- and middle-income countries are not equipped to conduct the exam. By upskilling the health professionals, they can effectively collaborate on our clinical studies, but also deliver better care to their patients.
Growing up in Nigeria, I experienced first-hand the positive impact of having access to medical specialists as well as the tragedy of not having this. So it's really a gift to be able to contribute in this way.
