‘World We Want’ - Health thematic consultation
Also political aspects of this…….
Carlson/Nordstrom (2012). Global engagement for health could achieve better results now and after 2015. The Lancet, Vol38, Nov3,2012
“needs to include a narrative that is clear about a more effective engagement of global partners responding to country needs”
“We could change the lives of many more poor people, particularly women and children, if governments like our own, implementing countries, and major global health players were working more effectively and strategically together”
“Are we as international partners responding in the most effective way to the health needs of women and children in low-income countries?”

10 POINT MANIFESTO
The Lancet to promote
`
`
E4A Evidence Network: Health in the post-2015 development agenda
1 Build on past success
2 Political, economic and social goals for women as women
3 Women more central in the continuum of care with quality, redefine the continuum of care, with quality, integration, NCDs, social determinants, poverty
4 Responsive financing mechanism to meet country needs.
5. Emphasis on reaching the unseen – the culturally excluded. If we are truly serious about equity we have to ask fundamental questions about the roles of women
6 Invite, include and incorporate the voices of women – to shape their own futures
7 The mother and the newborn child together –addressing preventable stillbirths
8 Data on maternal deaths and health outcomes essential
9 Technology – mobile health, women effectively and safely connected to health systems
10 Sustainability, universal access, free at the point of demand within a strong health system, with skilled workers, especially midwives and those providing midwifery services.
