ACCESS presents lessons learned from a global maternal and newborn health program
March 2–11 2009
Please join us on Friday, May 29th from 6-8 pm for the ACCESS Program’s Seminar and Reception at the Global Health Council Conference. The event will take place in the Executive Room at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington, D.C.
As the ACCESS Program completes its fifth and final year, field staff from Afghanistan, Nigeria and Malawi will be sharing effective program approaches from this USAID-funded global maternal and newborn health (MNH) program. Speakers will highlight ways to deliver high-impact interventions in the areas of skilled birth attendance, essential newborn care, and the prevention of postpartum hemorrhage. Related tools and materials will also be available. The program will be chaired by USAID and moderated by Dr. Harshad Sanghvi, Jhpiego’s Medical Director.
ACCESS works in 25 countries to improve MNH and survival by promoting ways to overcome barriers to implementing interventions at scale. Moving beyond the facility level, ACCESS extends health care services into communities and homes by building the capacity of skilled birth attendants, and through increasing families' access to and utilization of the high-quality services they provide. This expands coverage, access, and use of MNH services from the household to the hospital, and makes high-quality health services accessible to even the most vulnerable populations.
Refreshments and hors d’oeuvres will be served.
