The 3rd Global Conference, Women Deliver 2013, will be held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on 28-30 May 2013: http://www.womendeliver.org/conferences/2013-conference/
“Women Deliver 2010 was critical in showing that investing in girls and women is not only the right thing to do, it is also sound economics,†said UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, who gave opening remarks at Women Deliver 2010 and later that year launched the Global Strategy on Women’s and Children’s Health. “The commitment by Women Deliver to convene a global conference in 2013 offers an opportunity to keep up the pressure and to affirm our plans for the period ahead. By giving mothers-to-be the services they need before, during and after pregnancy, and by providing quality health care to all women, we can save lives, prevent suffering and accelerate progress toward all the Millennium Development Goals.â€
