#COVID19 threatens to reverse decades of progress for maternal, newborn and child survival.

Children’s lives and futures are at risk, but THIS is how the UK Government can avert a global health crisis for mothers and children

To avert a global health crisis for mothers and children the UK Government must:

1. PUBLISH an ambitious Action Plan to end preventable deaths of mothers, newborns and children in early 2021

To avert a global health crisis for mothers and children the UK Government must:

2. PRIORITISE mothers and children in all phases of the pandemic response and recovery and lead global efforts to build resilient health systems

To avert a global health crisis for mothers and children the UK Government must:

3. PROTECT funding for mothers and children from the expected 2021–22 #UKAid budget cuts and commit to return to spending 0.7% of GNI no later than 2022
