Center for Global Development’s “Global Health Policy Blog”: U.S. Senators Mobilize on Improving Maternal and Child Health
Amanda Glassman, vice president for programs, director of global health policy, and senior fellow at CGD, and Lauren Post, a CGD program associate, discuss “the Reach Every Mother and Child Act of 2015 (S. 1911), or Reach Act, which aims to accelerate progress toward ending preventable maternal and child deaths by 2035.” They discuss several ways the legislation, if passed, could provide “real impact,” including employing better targets and measurement, innovative financing that also allows for new investments, and accountability standards across agencies (10/6).
