Very detailed data. Thanks. It dispelled the impression that GBS is not common in developing countries.

Agree - GBS has been affected by myth that is not an issue in LMIC. Also need to include other outcomes that are important as well as child infections/deaths, notably for women, stillbirths and preterm as well as long term NDI for surviving children

I was not aware that GBS could cause stillbirth or that stillbirths were so prominent, even compared to infant death. Thank you for sharing!

Let's mobilize mums! I'm a member of many mum groups and GBS groups online and I will be sharing this information!

I am most intrigued by the primary role of GBS colonization on still birth and/or preterm birth delivery. Unfortunately GBS screening is only conducted at near term or term (i.e. >35 weeks). Is there a role at least in future of early testing and possibly treating women colonized with GBS during early gestation in order to prevent pregnancy wastage?

Brilliant talk . Skillfully laid it all out! I will do my best to allow the maximum number of parents, providers , and policy makers to hear and grasp/ take to heart your clear points an pathways forward . In LA, we have many “village explainer / documentarians who can propel your messages and possibly change our” collective culture” to allow progress, as is happening for Corona virus . Thanks to you and your colleagues. Jamie McGregor.

Interesting to see that GBS is more common than I thought. With GBS being such a prominent problem, why is it that it has not become more important/ a pillar in our medical care? I liked that you mentioned that a part of the problem is we are not listening to our mothers. It is so important that we listen our patients and not be dismissive, especially with women. In all our advancements, it makes you think about the biases that are still in medicine today.
