A global forum on women’s and children’s health

Partners’ Forum meeting to be held in New Delhi this weekend,13-14 November is a global meeting of The Partnership for Maternal,Newborn & Child Health (PMNCH),representing all of key stakeholder groups.

PMNCH is an independent alliance of 350 partner-organizations hosted by the World Health Organization in Geneva. It brings together six different constituency groups,from governments and civil society to health professional associations and academic institutions.

The Delhi meeting,hosted by the Government of India,follows closely from the launch of the Global Strategy for Women’s and Children’s Health by the UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon at the UN General Assembly in September.

This outreach has generated $40 billion in commitments towards meeting the Millennium Development Goals — a landmark achievement for women and children’s health.
