Global Forum on Maternal & Infant Health Calls for Accelerated
Action to Save Women & Children

More than 800 leaders and public health experts the world over are discussing strategies to promote the health of women and children and call for accelerated action to improve maternal, newborn and child health. 

The two day landmark program was opened by the Chair of the Partnership for Maternal, Newborn & Child Health, and African Ambassador for Committing to Child Survival in Johannesburg, Graça  Machel .

She said though the world has made remarkable progress to improve health and expand opportunities over the past 14 years, there is still much to be done.

Madam Machel said leaders must ensure that all women, adolescent girls, children and newborns, no matter where they live, are able to fulfil their rights to health and education, and realize their full potential.
