June 19th – Stronger Systems for Healthier Moms and Kids: Tackling Health System Constraints in Ghana and Guinea

Posted May 24, 2018

In the past 10 years, USAID’s maternal and child survival efforts have helped save the lives of more than 5 million children and 200,000 women in 25 priority countries. Despite this progress, more than 15,000 children and 830 women still die every day from preventable causes.

We must strengthen health systems to prevent child and material deaths.

Please join MCSP as we welcome health system specialists from two USAID-supported countries, Ghana and Guinea, to learn how interventions at different levels of the health system are working to address common health system challenges in order to ensure equity, coverage, quality and efficiency of reproductive, maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health services.
