Collective Action for Maternal Newborn Health
About us
AlignMNH is a global initiative founded in 2020 to accelerate progress in improving maternal and newborn health (#MNH) outcomes and prevent stillbirths around the globe. Unacceptably high levels of preventable maternal, newborn, and stillbirth deaths remain, with progress moving too slow to meet the Sustainable Development Goals. We aim to address this by collaborating with country, regional, and global partners to rapidly share science, evidence, promising innovations, and programmatic experience to align around common priorities, measurement, and action. We help create a unified vision and a collective sense of movement in the MNH community. We do this by: - Activating and strengthening connections across the whole ecosystem, breaking down silos, and aligning towards a shared set of goals, grounded in country priorities. - Creating energy and motivation across communities. - Providing offerings that bring together diverse stakeholders to address the challenges of complexity. - Influencing change by building coalitions across research, advocacy, private sector, media, financing, and policy communities, supported by the voices of people with lived experience. - Supporting and amplifying leaders and champions. AlignMNH is supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and USAID, and is led by Jhpiego.

Nearly 1 in 10 newborns are #BornTooSoon – that is 1 out of every 10 births that are most likely to require unique lactation care due to challenges with a newborn not feeding directly at the breast. What would it take for our #HealthSystems to pivot when standard #Breastfeeding messaging – to put the baby to the breast in the first few hours, days, or weeks – is not feasible? In a new blog post, colleagues from PATH share three ideas for meeting the unique lactation and #Nutrition needs of small and sick newborns and their mothers: https://lnkd.in/dtsAMuRU This post is written by Kimberly Mansen, Emily M. Njuguna, and Kiersten Israel-Ballard. #MaternalHealth #NewbornHealth #HealthWorkforce

#Breastfeeding plays a vital role in efforts to achieve MNH #GlobalGoals. #MNHMovementMaker Jenny Wright of Milk Matters in #SouthAfrica recently shared with us: in the absence of breastmilk from their own mother, donor human milk from a milk bank can be a life-saving intervention for low birthweight and #Preterm newborns. Don't miss WHO's guidance on maternal and newborn care for a positive postnatal experience – it features 63 comprehensive recommendations for MNH care as well as details on #HealthSystems and health promotion interventions like breastfeeding: https://lnkd.in/eAsYHq-T #NewbornHealth #NeonatalMortality #Nutrition

"Access to affordable, clinically-recommended medicines that consistently meet quality standards is vital to help ensure better and more equitable health outcomes for women. Unfortunately, health systems, especially in LMICs, struggle to safeguard the quality of their medicines." According to the World Health Organization, 10% of all medicines in LMICs worldwide are substandard or falsified. And nearly 50% of all medicines that are used to prevent or manage #PostpartumHemorrhage fail quality tests in LMICs – with life-threatening consequences for women. Read more on why quality medicines matter and what's driving quality challenges in Bangladesh, Nigeria and Rwanda: https://lnkd.in/dKDxkXwy This post is written by: Jeffrey Jacobs and Temitayo Erogbogbo of Merck's MSD for Mothers; Vivianne Ihekweazu of Nigeria Health Watch; and Ahmet Metin Gülmezoglu of Concept Foundation (non-profit). #HealthEquity #MaternalHealth #MaternalMortality #GlobalGoals Photo caption: A woman with her newborn baby and health workers in a health facility in Nigeria.

"While the focus on respectful care has traditionally been on the woman alone, there is growing awareness that mistreatment of newborns can have immediate and lasting consequences. There is a growing movement to expand the focus to the woman and her baby together—the dyad—and to include respectful newborn care." This new blog post focuses on the importance of the newborn experience of care and offers an in-depth look at work from Ghana: https://lnkd.in/gR4NEADk Taggable authors include: Shanon McNab, Cupid Adumbireh, Ioana (Ana) Petricel, Sue Moffson, Dr. Neena Khadka, Colby Reed, MPH, Lara Vaz, and Reshma Naik, DrPH, MPH, among others. cc Navrongo Health Research Centre, Ghana Health Service, Jhpiego, USAID MOMENTUM, PRB #RespectfulMaternityCare #RespectfulNewbornCare #NewbornHealth #SmallVulnerableNewborns #MotherBabyDyad Photo credit: Kate Holt/Jhpiego
