Background: We set out to describe the fine-scale population structure across the Eastern region of Nepal. To date there is relatively little known about the genetic structure of the Sherpa residing in Nepal and their genetic relationship with the Nepalese. We assembled dense genotype data from a total of 1245 individuals representing Nepal and a variety of different populations resident across the greater Himalayan region including Tibet, China, India, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Kirghizstan.

- In 2013, approximately 2.8 million newborns died, highlighting the urgent need to focus on improving newborn health and reducing stillbirths as part of the Millennium Development Goals.
- A systematic prioritization exercise involving 200 researchers and 400 experts led to the identification of 205 research questions, which were evaluated by 91 specialists to determine the most critical areas for newborn health research from 2013 to 2025.
- The top research priorities emphasized enhancing known interventions like neonatal resuscitation, improving community health worker skills and diagnosis accuracy, as well as exploring advanced treatments for preterm babies, such as stable surfactant and new tocolytic agents.
