Ministry of Health and Family Welfare is hosting an Every Woman Every Child consultation with more than 130 stakeholders in New Delhi between 26 and 27 February to discuss on global strategy for women, child and adolescents health.
The consultation will help seek insights on a range of women’s, children’s and adolescent health issues and include sessions on: progress and lessons learned from the Global Strategy experience since 2010, incorporating country perspectives, learning from current programmes, and placing a new focus on adolescent health and well-being, human rights, emergency and crisis settings, innovative financing, and cross-sectoral approaches. A first draft of the Global Strategy will be shared for consultation at a high-level side meeting during the World Health Assembly in Geneva in May. The strategy will be accompanied by a draft implementation plan, which will be presented to the member-states of the World Health Assembly in May 2016. To end preventable deaths of women, children, and adolescents and improve their health and well-being, partners from government, the UN, civil society, private business, professional health organisations, and academia and donor organisations are currently developing an updated version of the Global Strategy, first released in 2010 by UN Secretary-General, Ban Ki-moon. The strategy will align with the new 2015-2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and will be launched at the SDG Summit, in September 2015 at the UN General Assembly in New York.
