1,800+ global leaders. One urgent mission: save mothers and newborns.

At the IMNHC 2026 in Nairobi, the message is clear: we are running out of time to end preventable maternal and newborn deaths.

Despite progress, hundreds of thousands of women and millions of newborns are still lost each year to preventable causes. The gap is no longer knowledge—it is action, financing, and accountability.

Under the theme “Moving Forward. Together.,” global leaders are aligning on what must happen next: scale what works, invest where it matters, and deliver with urgency.

The Coalition for Women’s Health in Africa (COWHA) is proud to be in the room and at the table.

Proud to be here representing COWHA alongside Marloes Kibacha (COWHA Board Secretary and Managing Director, Africa Health Business) and Dr. Mary Moussa, FAPH (Head of Consulting, Africa Health Business), engaging with partners, policymakers, and key stakeholders who are driving the maternal and newborn health agenda forward.

Because for us, this is not just a conversation—it is a commitment.

At COWHA, we are actively working to:

• End preventable maternal and newborn mortality

• Strengthen health systems across Africa

• Drive partnerships that translate into real, measurable impact

We are not here to observe progress. We are here to accelerate it.

No mother. No newborn. Left behind.
