This year for International Women’s Day, March 8, 2026, DOHaD Canada honours Ethel Margaret Burnside and her midwives and nurses; women who cared for mothers and newborns, creating the records that would ultimately give rise to the field we now call DOHaD.
Learn more about Ethel Margaret Burnside, whose early 20th-century work organizing midwives to visit mothers across Hertfordshire created one of the first major datasets on early-life health and infant development.
