Upcoming "Pasteur Medicine Quarter-Hour" about infant mortality on December 10

Every month, the Center for Translational Science runs a "Pasteur Medicine Quarter-Hour" session, where two doctors are invited to give a brief presentation to Institut Pasteur scientists on the diseases they are involved in treating. The doctors start by outlining one or more clinical cases, then provide a short description of the disease and conclude by looking at a series of unanswered questions that need to be addressed.

The next session will take place on Thursday December 10 at 5.30pm, online only on Teams via this link: click here to take part in the session.

Program:
•    How can we curb the unprecedented rise in infant mortality in France? – Martin Chalumeau (Necker Hospital)
•    Sudden infant death syndrome – Martin Chalumeau (Necker Hospital)

As we live through a major health crisis which is mainly resulting in deaths among the elderly, come and listen to what this pediatrician has to say about infant mortality. Why has mortality increased in infants under the age of 1 since the late 2000s? Why is infant mortality twice as high in France as in Sweden, Finland and Japan?

Martin Chalumeau is a professor of pediatrics and a doctor of epidemiology. He is deputy head of the general pediatrics department at Necker-Enfants Malades Hospital. He coordinates the CHILD hospital university federation "Reducing mortality and severe morbidity before the age of 3." The federation involves Institut Pasteur scientists Julie Toubiana, Sylvain Brisse, Milena Hasan and Mustapha-Kheir Taha.
