Abstract

Despite decades of considerable economic investment in improving the health of families and newborns world-wide, aspirations for maternal and newborn health have yet to be attained in many regions.1 This may be explained in part by the fact that only an estimated 7% of these funds have been invested in women and girls.2 The global turn towards recognizing the importance of prevention and positive experiences of pregnancy, intrapartum, postnatal care, and care in the first weeks of life, while continuing to work to minimize adverse outcomes, signals what we see as a critical change in the maternal and newborn health care conversation and research prioritization.
