Description and results
Description
The H6 Global Initiative to Accelerate Support for Maternal and Newborn Health aims to significantly reduce maternal and newborn mortality in countries with the highest incidences of maternal and newborn illness and death. The program is a collaborative mechanism comprised of United Nations health agencies, collectively referred to as the H6 (the World Health Organization - WHO, the United Nations Children's Fund - UNICEF, the United Nations Population Fund - UNFPA, the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS - UNAIDS, UN Women and the World Bank) to assist high-burden countries in accelerating the implementation of commitments already made to the UN Secretary General’s Global Strategy for Women’s and Children’s Health.
