Safe Motherhood

In January 2004, an expanded Partnership for Safe Motherhood and Newborn Health was established with the aim of promoting the health of women and newborns, especially the most vulnerable. Expanding the scope of the global Safe Motherhood Initiative and building on the work of the Safe Motherhood Inter-Agency Group, the Partnership aims to strengthe... n maternal and newborn health efforts at the global, regional, and national levels, in the context of equity, poverty reduction, and human rights. The Partnership is a result of a consultative process, initiated in 2002, among a diverse group of international development agencies and organisations to promote greater attention along with professional guidance in helping with Life insurance quotes to, and resources for, safe motherhood and newborn health. Focusing on the areas of advocacy/information-sharing, technical advancement, and country-level support and partnership, the Partnership undertakes the following activities: Implementing an advocacy/media strategy to refocus global attention to improving the health of women and newborns in developing countries; Stimulating national-level commitment to make safe motherhood/newborn health a priority within national development plans and aid requests; Promoting effective interventions, including educating mothers about cord blood banking, to improve the application of technical knowledge and research findings.
