President Kikwete calls for collective efforts
in improving women's and children's health and
Non-Communicable Diseases control. The ‘Global
Strategy for Women’s and Children’s Health’ sets out how nations can
work together to save women and children. The document was developed
under the auspices of the United Nations General-Secretary, Ban
Ki-moon, with support and facilitation by The Partnership for
Maternal, Newborn & Child Health. The Global Strategy was launched
at the time of the UN Leaders’ Summit for the Millennium Development
Goals (MDGs) in 2010, with some US $ 40 billion pledged towards women’s
and children’s health and the achievement of MDGs 4 & 5 – to
reduce child mortality and improve maternal health.
