The session also introduced the TEAM OB/NEO training curriculum and implementation framework and unveiled national maternal and newborn health policies and guidelines.
The Gates Foundation, MTN Group Foundation and MSD for Mothers, along with seven private sector and non-governmental organisations, have signalled intent to support the Maternal and Neonatal Mortality Reduction Innovation Initiative (MAMII) as part of the Compact.
