Strategies toward Ending Preventable Maternal Mortality report to be launched at the World Health Assembly

The Strategies toward Ending Preventable Maternal Mortality report will be officially launched on May 19 during a World Health Assembly event hosted by the delegations from Cameroon and Malawi.

The report proposes a global target for maternal mortality, supplemented by context-specific national-level targets. The targets and strategies are grounded in a human rights approach to maternal and newborn health, and focus attention on eliminating significant inequities that persist, resulting in disparities in access, quality, and outcomes of care within and between countries.

The Strategies toward Ending Preventable Maternal Mortality report is the result of a collaborative process led by the WHO in partnership with the Maternal Health Task Force (MHTF), UNICEF, UNFPA, USAID, Family Care International, Maternal Child Survival Program (MCSP), and the White Ribbon Alliance.

The launch event is co-sponsored by contributors to the Every Newborn Action Plan

and will feature a newborn health progress update for the one-year anniversary of the plan’s adoption.
