Side Event | #IMNHC2026 Empowering Tomorrow: Partnering to Deliver Maternal and Newborn Health at Scale Discussions highlighted the role of the EWENE partnership in translating commitments into measurable, country-led results. 🔹 Emphasis was placed on strengthening collaboration across governments, partners and communities to scale MNH interventions. 🔹 Sustainable and predictable health financing was underscored as critical to expanding access and improving quality of care. Kenya is represented by Dr Juliet Omwoha, Head of the Newborn and Child Health Section, as a panellist, alongside representatives from the Ministry of Health Malawi, WHO Geneva, the Global Financing Facility, the Beginnings Fund, and the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation.

IMNHC 2026: If you look at the country picture, the discussion is meant to start with numbers. Currently, in the country, we still have a high number of newborn deaths — we lose 92 newborns every day…— Dr Juliet Omwoha, Lead, Child Health and Newborn, Ministry of Health.
