According to the World Health Organization, approximately 830 women died every day in 2015 from preventable causes related to pregnancy and childbirth, while more than 750 children under the age of 5 died every hour in 2012. Most of these deaths could have been prevented with access to the right resources and simple and affordable interventions.
Come hear from experts in the field about research going on in the field and what organizations are doing around the world to reduce these numbers.
During our opening reception (3:00 – 3:30pm) join us for heavy appetizers and meet with tabling organizations who have opportunities to get involved with related issues.
