Maternal and Newborn Health Thematic Fund: Phase III
16 Jan 2019
Even today more than 800 women die from pregnancy and childbirth-related causes. In addition, the number of women and girls that suffer injuries or illnesses caused by pregnancy and childbirth is threefold.
UNFPA would like to invite the global donor community to discuss how contributions to ending preventable maternal deaths can be accelerated.
The Maternal and Newborn Health Thematic Fund (MHTF), launched in 2008 to boost global funding and attention to maternal health, is now entering its third Phase (2018-2022). UNFPA would like to present this third phase while sharing results and best practices from previous phases.

About the MHTF:
The Maternal Newborn Health Thematic Fund (MHTF) spearheads efforts in currently 32 countries. It supports governments to transform health systems to deliver quality sexual and reproductive health care policies and services to those most in need.
The meeting will also serve to discuss how the MHTF is aligned with Agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals towards the transformative goal of zero preventable maternal deaths by 2030 of UNFPA.
