Ensuring mothers and newborns not only survive but thrive

As we strive to achieve the ambitious targets outlined in the Sustainable Development Goals for maternal and newborn health and prevention of stillbirths, progress has plateaued amid competing health priorities.

To reprioritize and advance maternal and newborn health and protect the progress that we have made, the first biannual IMNHC will:

• Enable pathways to drive collaboration, coordination, cross-country learning, and alignment within the maternal and newborn health community.
• Lead with evidence, share successes and effective implementation strategies, and identify promising solutions to improve maternal and newborn health and prevent stillbirths.
• Prioritize actions to accelerate progress toward meeting the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.
• Review and recognize country, regional, and global progress toward MNH targets and milestones.
• Build a dynamic community, including engaging the next generation of leaders.
