Maternal and newborn health key advocacy messages

Overview

These high-level messages are intended to be used by advocates in the lead up, during, and immediately following the International Maternal and Newborn Health Conference (IMNHC) to increase attention to maternal and newborn health (MNH), including stillbirths. The messages draw upon findings and recommendations contained within reports that are being launched at the conference, including Improving maternal and newborn health and survival and reducing stillbirths: Progress report 2023 (WHO and UNICEF) and Born Too Soon: Decade of action on preterm birth (PMNCH, WHO, UNICEF and UNFPA). They were developed by the ENAP-EPMM Advocacy and Accountability Working Group with PMNCH.
