international and usg health goals: the need for high impact solutions to accelerate mortality...
DESCRIPTION
Robert Clay outlined the following international public health goals and explained how USAID is working with global and domestic partners to achieve them:• FP2020—increasing access to family planning for an additional 120 million women by 2020; • A Promise Renewed—Ending Preventable Child and Maternal Deaths—reducing child deaths to 20 or fewer per 1,000 live births by 2035; and • Achieving an AIDS-Free Generation—ensuring that no child is born with the AIDS virus. Mr. Clay reviewed key strategies that will be applied to achieve these objectives. These include: focusing activities in 24 high-priority countries, and on high-burden, vulnerable populations, while employing evidence-based, high-impact interventions. These activities are intended to accelerate reductions in under-five and maternal mortality. Mr. Clay emphasized the link between the work of presenters attending this conference with the potential to contribute to these important objectives.TRANSCRIPT
