A coordinated partnership - Deliver Now for Women + Children was launched 26 September at the Clinton Global Initiative Annual Meeting in New York City. Deliver Now is a core component of a broader campaign - Global Campaign for the Health Millennium Development Goals.

It is estimated that over 10 million women and children die each year mostly from preventable causes. The majority of these deaths can be avoided by implementing low-cost preventive measures such as: exclusive and continuous breastfeeding; vaccination; nutrition; and the proper use of long lasting insecticide-treated bed nets for children in Africa.

Deliver Now will use a two-pronged approach: 1) create political awareness and commitment among leaders and 2) scale up those health programs proven to be effective. It will be coordinated by the Partnership for Maternal, Newborn & Child Health and will target Millennium Development Goals 4 & 5 - ensuring all women, newborns, and children survive and thrive.
