The Countdown Conference 2008 will open a window of opportunities for the global community to put the issues of maternal, newborn and child health (MNCH) on the agenda of the highest-level of decision- and policy-makers by releasing a groundbreaking announcement on the latest state of the global progress towards MDGs 4 and 5. A special focus will be on reducing maternal mortality. This event is envisaged to become an important milestone following a wave of international advocacy efforts to mobilize global commitment and actions in MNCH.
