Databases
  • BC Children's Hospital BioBank
    • This is a valuable resource to local and international researchers, as it collects and stores biological samples and matching clinical data for future ethically approved studies. In addition to children’s samples, they have maternal samples such as blood, umbilical cord blood, and placenta from both premature and full term deliveries. They are CTRNet certified and have experience providing biobanking services for basic and clinical research projects.
Advocacy
  • Every Mother Counts Advocacy Toolkit
    • This toolkit was created by Every Mother Counts and helps readers understand important components of advocacy and tools you can use to help improve maternal health and health equity.
