Access to care is necessary. Quality of care is non-negotiable. Safe, effective, timely, equitable, people-centred MNH care, and a respectful experience, leads to better outcomes and higher rates of return. alignmnh.org/issue/quality-of-care/ #AlignMNH #QualityOfCare #MNH #RespectfulCare

1 in 5 women. Perinatal mental disorders are the most common complication of childbirth — with intergenerational impacts for mother and child. Effective interventions exist. Prioritization is the gap. Learn More: alignmnh.org/issue/perinatal-mental-health-2/ #AlignMNH #PerinatalMentalHealth #MNH

Every maternal and newborn death has a story. MPDSR is how health systems listen to it, and act on it. Our latest carousel breaks it down: what MPDSR is, why it matters, and why the "response" half is just as critical as the surveillance. Resources → alignmnh.org/issue/mpdsr #AlignMNH #MPDSR

Every year, postpartum hemorrhage (severe bleeding after childbirth) takes the lives of hundreds of thousands of women. Align's PPH resource library brings together the best available evidence and implementation tools on PPH 👉 Explore the resources: l1nq.com/0zq3nme

The State of Africa's Stillbirths Report was launched during the #IMNHC2026 in Nairobi. It is the first Africa-wide report dedicated exclusively to this issue. 1 million stillbirths a year. Half the global burden. Read it: data.unicef.org/resources/st... #Stillbirth #EndStillbirth #AlignMNH

🎥 What does it take to accelerate progress for MNH? At #IMNHC2026, global leaders, country representatives, researchers, and partners came together around one clear message: we already know what works — now we must deliver at scale and with equity. Watch the highlights: youtu.be/tkgdsfD13e0

From #IMNHC2026 to conversations ahead, we must prioritize #newborns. @sciwriabdul.bsky.social reports progress in reducing newborn deaths is slowing, and in some places, stalling. With 60+ countries off track, we need more urgency, funding, and political will. www.science.org/content/arti...

83% of countries in Sub-Saharan Africa are off-track to meet SDG targets. MNH budgets have reduced in 85% of countries. Families are still not at the center of policy. We have the plans. We don't have the will — or the financing. Dr. Gagan Gupta, UNICEF | #IMNHC2026 #MaternalHealth #NewbornHealth

From Madhya Pradesh to global scale, digital learning and government leadership are strengthening maternal health systems and improving gestational diabetes care. #GDM #gestationaldiabetes #diabetes #QualityOfCare www.alignmnh.org/2026/01/29/i...

Evidence without political will and domestic financing won’t save lives. MNH progress depends on governance, partnerships, and listening to communities. www.alignmnh.org/2026/01/29/o...

High coverage of health services does not guarantee impact. Too many maternal and newborn deaths occur because the care received is unsafe or ineffective. Improving #QualityOfCare is essential to saving lives and ensuring better outcomes for women and newborns.
