Thanks to AlignMNH for a great partnership at the opening event of Lives in the Balance, “Galvanizing political leadership for maternal, newborn and child health.” To drum up support for the MNCH Resolution and the upcoming WHA77 negotiations, we asked PMNCH partners and allies who attended the events: what actions need to be taken to reduce maternal, newborn and child deaths and what motivates their advocacy.
Thanks to all who participated.
