Tell leaders to invest in lifesaving MNCH programs.

Today’s @WHO projections indicate that by 2030, the maternal mortality ratio will be 2.5 times higher than the SDG targets. But we can change that.

There is no world health without #MNCH.

Over the past decades, investment in MNCH has saved millions of lives. But today, that progress is at risk.

Sustained investment in MNCH programs means investing in a stronger, healthier, and more prosperous world.

There is no world health without #MNCH.

What will move #MNCH forward?

EGPAF's Sarah Barnes recently attended #IMNHC2026 and shared her key takeaways with us.
