Global Maternal Newborn Health Conference – México

The Secretariat of Health of Mexico, together with convening partners, will host the first-ever Global Maternal Newborn Health Conference in Mexico City from October 18 to 21. This landmark conference will discuss strategies for reaching every mother and newborn with high-quality health care. The meeting will enable technical discussions highlighting approaches and lessons from programs, policies, research, and advocacy for improving both maternal and newborn health. It offers the first opportunity for the global maternal and newborn health communities to strategize on how to meet the new post-2015 health goals translating commitments into concrete action.

The conference will be attended by technical implementers, policymakers, researchers and practitioners from more than 50 countries who submitted abstracts through a peer-review process. Additional participants include critical individuals from high-burden, low-income countries and convening partners who support implementation efforts worldwide. Though general registration for the conference has closed, there will be numerous opportunities to engage online, including webcasts of plenary sessions and live coverage on social media.
