Advancing global newborn and child health: SickKids supports launch of major international reports 

As the 2015 target deadline for the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) quickly approaches, two important platforms have been unveiled that support the tracking of continued progress and provide a framework to further advance maternal, newborn and child health. The Every Newborn Action Plan and the Countdown to 2015 Report for 2014 launched June 30, 2014, at the Partnership for Maternal Newborn and Child Health (PMNCH) Partners’ Forum in Johannesburg, South Africa. SickKids’ Centre for Global Child Health expert, Dr. Zulfiqar Bhutta, is a lead author and advocate integral to the development of both major international reports.
