Will you be in Cape Town, South Africa attending the International Maternal Newborn Health Conference from 8 to 11 May? Please look out for Breakthrough RESEARCH’s Charlotte Warren and Chantalle Okondo as they present results from their work in Kenya on improving the experience of care for hospitalized newborns and their parents and respectful maternity care in Malawi.

IMNHC 2023 is organized by the AlignMNH Secretariat and the maternal newborn health community, and it is designed to create an opportunity to bring forward new evidence, create an opportunity for conversation, and bring together maternal newborn health efforts. The conference is the first biannual IMNHC, and in the future an IMNHC will be held every two years to maintain our global progress towards improving maternal newborn health.
