About this Event

Building Healthy Futures: Integrating Congenital Conditions into Maternal and Child Health Programs

At WHA 77 Member States adopted a resolution responding to slowing progress in tackling maternal, newborn, and child mortality and for the first time called out congenital conditions as a key driver of childhood mortality that needed to be addressed.  With childhood mortality reduction efforts stagnating, now is a critical moment for NGOs, patient and family advocates and policy makers to unite and advocate for the investment and integration of congenital conditions into maternal and child health programs.   

We invite you to join us for a dynamic discussion with patient and family advocates, leading NGOs, government representatives, and WHO experts who will highlight the work the WHO has been doing to bring more attention to congenital conditions, including estimating the global burden of birth defects and developing a new policy framework for newborn screening, diagnosis and management of congenital conditions. This event will make the case that now is the time to ensure that children born with congenital conditions survive and thrive.
