In Zimbabwe, the Biomedical Research and Training Institute (BRTI), with support from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, as part of the HIGH Horizons initiative addresses national-level heat indicators and developing strategies to mitigate the impact of heat stress on maternal and child health. The new cohort of primary school children, will be recruited from three schools located in low-socioeconomic communities in close proximity to UZ’s Research Centre in the Epworth community.
