Dr. Dotse-Gborgbortsi is a spatial epidemiologist at the University of Southampton. He uses multidisciplinary public health and geography methods to study spatial inequalities, access, and use of health services.

The presentation was followed by a discussion with Dr. Chris Fofie, Head of Safe Motherhood Program, Ghana Health Service; and Dr. Manju Nair, Medical Scientist, Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Sciences and Technology (SCTIMST) School of Public Health, Kerala, India, on the policy implications and some country experiences related to the findings of the paper.
