Today I talk with Cecilia Tomori about maternal and children’s health in the midst of the pandemic.
Cecília Tomori is Associate Professor and Director of Global Public Health and Community Health at the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing, with a joint appointment at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. She is a Hungarian-American anthropologist and public health scholar whose work addresses the structural and sociocultural drivers that shape patterns of health and illness. Dr. Tomori has collaborated with colleagues at Johns Hopkins and beyond on breastfeeding, infant sleep, and infectious disease prevention. She has authored three books on breastfeeding and reproduction, and numerous publications on a range of public health issues, including the COVID-19 pandemic.
