TAILIEUCHUNG - INVESTING IN MATERNAL, NEWBORN AND CHILD HEALTH - THE CASE FOR ASIA AND THE PACIFIC

The Global Strategy builds on commitments made by countries and partners at several events: the Programme of Action agreed at the International Conference on Population and Development; the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action agreed at the Fourth World Conference on Women; the ECOSOC Ministerial Review on Global Health; UNGA side session, “Healthy Women, Healthy Children: Investing in Our Common Future”; and the 54th session of the Commission on the Status of Women.
