Together we will discuss how the midwife-led model of care is best suited to provide quality respectful women centered care and end preventable maternal and newborn deaths; the challenges and opportunities that are there; the enabling environment that is needed and the inter-professional collaboration necessary for bringing about optimum health outcomes for a woman and her newborn. We will also learn about what global partners and countries are doing and commitments they want to make to strengthen this important cadre to help achieve the Health Sustainable Goal in ending preventable maternal and newborn mortality by 2030.<\/p>\n<p>WRA Presentation: HCPA x RMC<\/p>\n                        <\/div>\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n                    \r\n                <\/div>\r\n                \r\n            <\/div><\/aside>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/imnhc2023.dryfta.com\/program\/program\/238\/dialogues-on-climate-change-and-maternal-and-newborn-health-from-evidence-to-action\">May 8th<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<aside class=\"accordion\"><div id=\"accordion-acf-block\">                \r\n                <div class=\"accordion-item\" data-accordion-item>\r\n                    \r\n                    <button class=\"accordion-btn\"><span class=\"accordion-header\">Dialogues on Climate Change and Maternal and Newborn Health: From Evidence to Action<\/span><i class=\"fa-regular fa-plus\"><\/i><\/button>\r\n                    \r\n                    <div class=\"accordion-panel\">\r\n                        <div class=\"accordion-content\">\r\n                            <p><a href=\"https:\/\/imnhc2023.dryfta.com\/program\/program\/238\/dialogues-on-climate-change-and-maternal-and-newborn-health-from-evidence-to-action\">Dialogues on Climate Change and Maternal and Newborn Health: From Evidence to Action<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Monday, May 8, 1:30-5:00pm<br \/>\nRoom: Watsonia &amp; Bluebell<\/p>\n<p>The aim of the session is to raise awareness on the impact of climate change (with a focus on extreme heat) on maternal and newborn health (MNH) and to start discussions on priority actions for global, national and sub-national MNH programmes to consider.<\/p>\n                        <\/div>\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n                    \r\n                <\/div>\r\n                \r\n            <\/div><\/aside>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/imnhc2023.dryfta.com\/program\/program\/238\/dialogues-on-climate-change-and-maternal-and-newborn-health-from-evidence-to-action\">May 9th<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<aside class=\"accordion\"><div id=\"accordion-acf-block\">                \r\n                <div class=\"accordion-item\" data-accordion-item>\r\n                    \r\n                    <button class=\"accordion-btn\"><span class=\"accordion-header\">My Job, My Voice: Harnessing Midwives\u2019 Demands at Scale to Strengthen the Enabling Environment for Midwifery<\/span><i class=\"fa-regular fa-plus\"><\/i><\/button>\r\n                    \r\n                    <div class=\"accordion-panel\">\r\n                        <div class=\"accordion-content\">\r\n                            <p><a href=\"https:\/\/imnhc2023.dryfta.com\/program\/program\/141\/my-job-my-voice-harnessing-midwives-demands-at-scale-to-strengthen-the-enabling-environment-for-midwifery\" data-rich-text-format-boundary=\"true\">My Job, My Voice: Harnessing Midwives\u2019 Demands at Scale to Strengthen the Enabling Environment for Midwifery<\/a><br data-rich-text-line-break=\"true\" \/><br data-rich-text-line-break=\"true\" \/>Tuesday, May 9, 1:15-2:30pm<br data-rich-text-line-break=\"true\" \/>Room: 1.63-1.64<br data-rich-text-line-break=\"true\" \/><br data-rich-text-line-break=\"true\" \/>Midwives&#8217; Voices, Midwives&#8217; Demands (MVMD) is a groundbreaking campaign launched in 2021 by WRA, the International Confederation of Midwives (ICM), and partners.
