UN in the Field 🇺🇳 | Fighting Malnutrition in the Philippines
In this southern region—where decades of conflict left one of the country's highest rates of child malnutrition—@unicefphils is delivering hope.
Join @bdnoub in Upi as health workers bring life-saving care to kids.
@jonfavs Thanks for your efforts, RUTF has saved millions of kids from dying of hunger. However, this will only turn on production, they still have yet to be paid and all awards were cancelled that ensures those packets then actually feed the starving children that need them
1 in 4 children under the age of five suffers from undernutrition, which can lead to long-term damage.
We must urgently step-up financing to end child malnutrition.

“If the government was able to reach the last mile, we wouldn’t have #zerodosechildren. This is why civil society is so vital to expanding access to vaccines.” - @enasikye, @PATHtweets.
It was great to come together and highlight the work of @CDCGlobal and @USAIDGH to ensure survival of mothers and children everywhere. Thanks to our fantastic panelists for highlighting how #PHC, and two key interventions- #nutrition & #immunization are some of our best bets

All data has a story and every story has data. Question: how are we using data to drive policy change and advance MNH outcomes at all levels? @PATHtweets is hosting a concurrent session @IMNHC2023 to respond to this question @mar__becerra@MinofHealthUG@Kellyjhealy@NdiranguRay
If you’re at #IMNHC2023 join me, @MinofHealthUG @WRAglobal to discuss why and how data must be paired with advocacy to drive impact on policy and budgets
Room 2.61
How do we ensure that the data coming out of the #IMNHC2023 helps countries to design equitable policies that will drive change at the household level? Join @mar__becerra & @MinofHealthUG and other advocates to discuss this further. @imnhc
Aligning, accelerating & saving lives means making MNH a top priority - convincing minds and hearts is🔑
Join our panel at #IMNHC2023 tomorrow which features examples, lessons, & tools for marrying data with voices to support powerful advocacy for #MNH https://t.co/6DgtlI4xJW
Support women, believe women, invest in women. It’s not acceptable that 70% of maternal deaths are in Sub-Saharan Africa. TOGETHER, we must join to accelerate to save lives of mothers and newborns.

@WRAglobal our customers are women, “ We must listen and respond to what they are looking for” - @aparajitagogoi highlighting the importance of listening to women when develop programs and policies
@PATHtweets very own @wairungu speaking on the hidden costs of access to care in Kenya for #momandbaby. In order to move progress we need to develop policy that focuses on the needs of mothers and children to address health equity
After years of advocacy, glad to see @PowerUSAID launch @USAIDGH new MNCH framework focusing on:
✅equity
✅quality
✅ PHC
We must double down and re-commit to #momandbaby
