#IMNHC2023 Country delegations hard at work formulating/revising action plans for next 2 years #Maternal #Newborn #Stillbirth This accountability process is core vision of @alignmnh to help align, accelerate, save lives together! Governments leading & partners supporting.

UN #maternal mortality estimates released today reveal setbacks for women’s health. Maternal deaths have increased & stagnated in many countries. A woman dies every 2 minutes due to pregnancy or childbirth. >70% occur in Africa. #HealthForAll who.int/publications/i…

Maternal and child health figures should alarm us the same way that data from the COVID-19 pandemic alarmed the world, Dr. Queen Dube @q_dube argues. Listen to our latest podcast episode to hear more: usaidmomentum.org/momentum-prese…

What do you see as opportunities for improving data availability, quality and use for #TrackingProgress towards global and national targets? Join us on the first day of the #April22Collective hosted by @AlignMNH to share knowledge & take action! (1/2)

I know how hard these teams (quoted video) have worked, especially in last Q/2021. They changed the face of the vaccine program in Malawi &Africa: IT'S NOT HESITANCY, BUT limited access to either the vaccine or vaccine information or both! @Ran_George: "get it, it's lifesaving"

Pleased to see my sister, @HonChiponda, #Malawi Health Minister, at #WHASpecial. I thanked her for her leadership in the #COVID19 response, and for supporting #PandemicTreaty idea. Together, for healthier, safer Africa!
