Biography
Andini Pramono was awarded her PhD in population health at the ANU in 2023. Using mixed methods, her PhD thesis examined the facilitator and barriers of BFHI in Australia and Indonesia. The quantitative part was measuring the social value of BFHI accreditation and implementation in two hospitals in Australia and Indonesia, while the qualitative part was examining its barriers and facilitators from midwives and nurses’ perspectives. These have been published as 6 peer-reviewed papers in various international journals. During her PhD, she was awarded Deeble Summer Research Scholarship from Australian Healthcare and Hospitals Association (AHHA) with the outcome of a policy brief titled “Improving the uptake of the Baby Friendly Health Initiative in Australian hospitals”.
Andini is a Chief Investigator in a successful MRFF Maternal Health and Healthy Lifestyle grant, and currently working on the project titled "Scaling up the Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative in support of maternal and newborn health".
