Maternal Health Is Women's Health: A Call for Papers for Year 2 of the Maternal Health Task Force—PLOS Collection.
Since November 2011, the Maternal Health Task Force (MHTF), an initiative based at the Harvard School of Public Health, has collaborated with PLOS to create a freely available, open access collection of outstanding research and commentary on maternal health: the MHTF–PLOS Collection on Maternal Health. This 3-year partnership reflects a shared overarching goal: to improve women's and children's health by ensuring that more people have greater access to more comprehensive maternal health data, programmatic experiences, and lessons learned, and to be informed about critical areas of debate and growing consensus. The theme of the Year 1 Collection (2011-12) was “quality of maternal health care,” and 19 articles were published. This month the PLOS Medicine editors and the MHTF announced the theme of the current Year 2 Collection (2012-13): “maternal health is women's health” with a Call for Papers. Regular updates will be provided at the Collection's home page: http://www.ploscollections.org/maternalhealth.
