Maternal and Newborn Health Technical Meeting Concept Note

In an effort to build bridges between the maternal and newborn health communities, Saving Newborn Lives (SNL) at Save the Children and the Maternal Health Task Force (MHTF) at the Harvard School of Public Health convened a technical consultation that brought key members of the maternal and newborn health communities together to identify opportunities for integrated quality care during the antenatal, intrapartum and postnatal periods.

This meeting brought together around 50 researchers, program implementers and funders from both the maternal and newborn health communities. The participant list will include many representatives from low- and middle-income countries, where the burden of these issues is greatest.
